Ryozo Tsujimoto

Ryozo Tsujimoto is exactly the kind of guy the games industry runs on — not the face on the magazine cover, but the producer quietly in the background making sure the whole thing doesn't fall apart. As the longtime producer of Monster Hunter, he's had a direct hand in building one of gaming's most devoted fanbases from a cult following into a genuine global phenomenon, and I have a lot of respect for that kind of slow, patient craft. Born in Osaka in 1973, Kinki University graduate — there's something fitting about a guy with that practical, grounded Kansai upbringing being the steady hand behind a franchise that rewards patience and persistence above all else. He keeps a low profile for someone who's shipped some of the best-selling games in Capcom's history, which honestly makes me like him more.
