Career

Toyonaka Ozaki wanted to work on video games because her younger brother owned a PC, on which she played games like Xanadu. Ozaki's first project after joining Sega was Chouon Senshi Borgman, which was a challenge, as she didn't actually know very much about computers and had preconceptions about how an anime-to-game's art development would work, being relegated to only contributing a single image.

Like Borgman, she made more minor contributions on Mega Drive, eventually becoming a major contributor to Super Hang-On and Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom. For the latter, the series' fame enticed her to put in lots of overtime work, with the offer of overtime pay and becoming a "Phantasy Star Millionaire".

Briefly, Ozaki became involved with arcade games via Clutch Hitter. Of the game's 3 graphic designers, working on 240 players for 20 teams, she handled 3 teams, including the Hanshin Tigers. Afterwards, she returned to console development with background design for Golden Axe II.
