Eitaro Toyoda (豊田 栄太郎) is a Sonic Team employee mainly involved with the main releases for the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He originally dealt with in-game event scenes for Sonic Adventure but expanded to level design, working regularly with game director Takashi Iizuka as part of Sonic Team USA. Following the release of Shadow the Hedgehog, he moved back to Japan to work on Sonic and the Secret Rings. The last time he did game design, as of this writing, was Sonic Unleashed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 as a Boss Game Designer.
Toyoda now mainly serves as a supervisor for Sonic family characters alongside Iizuka and Yuji Uekawa, though in 2016 he was in charge of doing the story and art for the 25th anniversary Sonic comics for Sonic Channel, also supervised by Iizuka and Uekawa.
