Harvest Moon & Little King's Story Creators Leave Grasshopper

Posted September 9, 2011 by M.H. Williams

Yasuhiro Wada, creator of Harvest Moon, and Yoshiro Kimura, creator of Little King’s Story, left Marvelous Entertainment one year ago to join Goichi Suda’s Grasshopper Manufacture as COO and CCO respectively.  Today, Siliconera reports that the two have departed the company.

The studio is currently working on a number of titles, including Rebuild of Evangelion: Sound Impact, Sine Mora, Black Knight Sword, Lollipop Chainsaw, and the Kinect-powered Codename D.  No replacements for the two gentlemen have been named, nor is there any indication where they will end up.
