Shun Arai (新井 瞬) joined Sega in 1985 as a programmer, working on little projects for the Sega SG-1000 and Mark III[5]. When the idea came up for Sega and CRI to develop software for education, he was reassigned here because of his mathematics teaching license[6]. He became Sega's go-to person for handling projects that expanded Sega's horizons, such as the Mega Modem[7]. He was also in charge of home banking[7][1][2], which the Mega Modem provided through Mega Anser.

In the 90's he was transferred to Sega CS2[3], and it may have been here that he became involved mainly with systems, including developing tools for the Sega Saturn and providing technical support[7][1][2].
