Talk:Tomonobu Itagaki

message: Clarification please:
* However, many fans and people in the gaming industry regard his remarks as immature, distasteful and hypocritial. 
* Nevertheless, Itagaki's popular and acclaimed work, such as Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox has largely silenced his most hostile critics.
How is the latter POV and the former not? I'll leave that one alone in the article for now and just revert some flat-out nonsense. - DaveR 00:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It is widely known fact and pertains to many interviews magazines and websites have done with him. Mr.bonus 23:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  During an interview in EGM, when Itagaki was asked to name the most positive thing about the Tekken series all he responded with was "The name, because it's short." 151.151.73.167 14:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I have rewritten the article addressing the concerns of above, eliminating the weasel words, and adding a few personal information. The personal information is however few due to the desire and respect of family privacy among the Japanese media. Sources have also been added in. Further materials will be added in later. Hopefully we can portray a better and objective picture of the man without any personal grievances against him or his opinions inserted in. We probably can get this article to a B-class if we can do that.Jappalang 03:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This is in regards to the request at the VG Assessment page.  I'm rating this article as B-class, Low-importance.  Here are a few tips to improve it!
Move the sexual harassment scandal to the bottom- it's less important than his career.  The article also has a lot of tense shifts (going from joined to has brought 2 paragraphs later, for example) as well as other grammar mistakes ("The series take place", "Ninja Gaiden is Itagaki's efforts to develop").  There are also several tone problems- remember that WP is an encyclopedia, and should have an "encyclopedic" or neutral tone. This means that having almost 10 paragraphs in a row (all a bit too short as well) that start as "Itagaki [blank]s this" or Itagaki [other blank]s that.  There is enough information and references for me to give it a B, though a low one.  Keep it up!  --PresN 22:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the comments. I agree the prose is an issue ("Itagki [blank]s this"). I will attempt to correct this some time after my vacation. In the meantime, I have added more information on his education background, and his appointments at Tecmo. Jappalang 22:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The Tekken hating and Sony antipathy has a unique origin, the story is somewhat like this: "In 1997 to promote Tekken 2 launch for PlayStation, the producers published an radio advert ridiculing Dead or Alive game. Itagaki becomes very offended and tried to defend his franchise on ocidental magazines but was ignored. The competition with Tekken emerged in ends 90s and he become very hatefull with the Tekken franchise. To support and promote Tekken on PlayStation consoles, Sony was obsviously achieved Itagaki antipathy." There's even a legend that says Itagaki never touched a Sony SDK, his game ports were made by other Team Ninja members, this is confirmed recently even on Ninja Gaiden Sigma port. The sources are on 90s videogame magazines, the whole case was well covered in 1997-98 with the first Sony-hate statement supporting Sega Saturn over PlayStation. It's a hard work collecting such old off-line information, I think the case if reported and sourced can clarify lots of insane behavior assigned to him. --Ciao 90 (talk) 18:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I do not know what the correct date is, but at the end of the 'career' section, it is mentioned that he was quoted on June 3, 2008, which is theday that Ninja Gaiden 2 came out, not X number of day before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.81.124.118 (talk) 01:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Was he actually charged? Seems odd to incriminate him in the heading and acquit him in the body. I've tweaked the wording to something a little less Daily Mail. Jaz Mcdougall (talk) 08:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello, I've been investigating warrior game, it looks like a scam with no real involvement on itagaki. I think keeping up on his page is damaging to those interested in NFTs, those who follow itagaki, and itagaki himself. I would recommend removing it or adding a warning about it until we get in person confirmation from him, or a better translation for his content. Graybloodd (talk) 10:41, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
