Kenji Tosaki (戸崎健司) is a former Japanese developer. During the 1990s at Sega, he was development manager of the second console design department, mainly in charge of game console controllers and input devices. For the Saturn, he managed the Virtua Gun and 3D Control Pad,[1] as well as its unreleased add-ons and the canned Virtua Visor head-mounted display.[2]
