Like Ono-san at Capcom, Harada is a showman, one whose moments of public extravagance are built on a foundation of belief and passion in the game he is promoting.Īnd what he is promoting might be the biggest Tekken game ever. Some are maybe not so popular, like Ganryu and such, but all are important to me”. When asked which character he was most pleased to see back in the fifty strong line-up of characters in TTT2 he couldn’t say for sure, explaining that “My characters are like my children. Harada loves Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and the Tekken franchise. In the new beat-em-up world order, where 2D and custom combos are king and Tekken and Virtua Fighter have been knocked from their perch, shouldn’t Harada be a little bit worried? Not his style, man. The showmanship is welcome and it livens up the handful of journalists in the room, but it makes you think that Harada-San isn’t taking this quite as seriously as he used to. Baba needs a date, apparently, and will take whatever he can get. He opens with a joke about fellow developer Hideo Baba (producer on the Tales of Graces series). There is no way he can see three inches past his own face. Katsuhiro Harada stands up in a cramped cinema in London’s Shoreditch, lights dimmed, presentation primed and ready, wearing his hair gelled up straighter than Paul Phoenix and sunglasses darker than Lee Chaolan’s alter-ego Violet.
