Masato Nishimura (西村 真人), also known as Majin/Mazin (まぢん) or CXXMAJIN,[12] is a designer at Sega. In Sonic CD he was responsible for the infamous "fun is infinite" hidden image and also provided a few voice lines for Sonic in the game[13]. He has been working on console and arcade games for more than 25 years and continues to develop arcade games to this day.
Like Yosuke Okunari, who is the same age as him, Nishimura comes from a background of growing up with Sega games and the Japanese Sega community in the 80s, and helps with preserving retro materials[1].
