Shinji Mikami
Takumi was later picked up by Shinji Mikami to work on "Dino Crisis". However, in early 1997, the "Dino Crisis" team was temporarily redirected to help work on the ill-fated original version of "Resident Evil 2". Takumi was then made director of the "Dino Crisis" project before being demoted to planner, being responsible for the first half of the game. He was then made director of "Dino Crisis 2", and was able to maintain his position throughout the game's development.
