Takashi Ishihara is a former UI designer and concept artist at Sonic Team, who joined at 18 years old[1]. After working with older former Sonic Team creators at Artoon, he met Tetsuya Mizuguchi, and joined his company Q Entertainment to create games that combine art and music, such as Child of Eden and Lumines[1]. He became a freelander in 2012[2], but continued to work with Mizuguchi on the games Rez Infinite and Tetris Effect, as well as designed Mizuguchi's official website[2]. He also worked on an action game for Sega, and has also worked with Yamaha, Microsoft and Ubisoft[2].

Ishihara was exposed to art through his father, who was a cameraman[1]. During his school days, he was most inspired to study graphic design by abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky[1].
