Black and white illustration with shades of yellow and reddish brown showing several characters: in the centre, Blaze (Streets of Rage); at the bottom, Sonic and an army of soldiers; at the top, a dragon; on the left, Ali (Thor) and Adol (Ys); on the right, Axel (Streets of Rage) and the Master (Actraiser 2).

I wrote a series about Ayano Koshiro, a graphic designer, illustrator and chara-designer who worked on series such as Ys, Streets of Rage, Actraiser and Thor.
The first 2 parts (out of 8) are now available and cover her time at Falcom.
