From Sega Retro

Yuji Naka
  • Birthday: 17 September 1965

Also known as "YU2"

When Yuji Naka was 17 years old, he decided to program video games. Debt at this sudden fascination had naturally Ryuichi Sakamotos "Yellow Magic Orchestra", the volume, which its Musi with computers composed. (Yuji was also not alone with its inspiration, which has YMO many large names of the play industry fascinated - among other things Kenji Eno, creator of "D".)

Anyway, Yuji announced itself at a play school (or like always one such Institut to call should...) and had to pull therefore also from Osaka to Tokyo. A large fan of Namco, he wanted to work after his conclusion immediately at those, the late times Taki would draw and Mina and Sophitia and... Ivy! Mjamm! But Namco presupposed a university conclusion for the work - any farmer nincompoop should not finally program Takis and Ivys back! Naka sama was putrid. Stink-putridly. It did not want to the university, and therefore it has itself then somehow to service Games pierced...

At the beginning of its career it was busy primarily with conversions on the SG-1000 Mark III, but its large break-through should take time not all too for a long time. 1990 became in the again created "Sonic Team" a leading programmer for Sega's first correct Maskottchen attempt. (although the Grandpa Grandpas from Fantasy would have actually already been zone or the slope on motorcycle okay, or?)

After the completion of Sonic 2, he became already producer. Today he is a president of Sonic Team, Ltd..
