Career

Namie Manabe who joined Sega Enterprises in 1993 out of her love of games, and worked background art for the Clockwork Knight series[1][5], including creating the art for the minigames which only appear in Clockwork Knight: Pepperouchau no Fukubukuro[6]. She also worked on NiGHTS Into Dreams... and was briefly considered a member of Sonic Team[7]. Manabe was also a sort of test audience to see if Virtua Fighter 2 would appeal to non-gamer women, which happened because she was friends with AM2's publicist at the time, Nobutaka Arii[8].

In 1996 she began secretly developing PetPost, an artificial pet mail-software, with director Kazuhiko Hachiya and programmer Takashi Koki[5][9]. She did not initially intend to leave Sega, but she was not allowed to work on it as a side-job, so would have to either use a pseudonym or leave the company. She chose the latter[10].

In 2001, they created the dress-up doll Momoko with Manabe as art director[1][11] and she has since created various dolls like Odeco-chan and Nikki, PostPet Now, Ringo chan, PW-Momoko and Usaggie[4], some of them for PetWorks[12], a company she established with PostPet creators Hachiya and Koki in 1998[5]. In March 2010, Manabe was appointed CEO of PetWorks[13].
