Ryozo Tsujimoto (辻本良三, Tsujimoto Ryozo) (born October 18, 1973) is a video game producer and game designer. He is currently an Executive Corporate Officer at Capcom.[1]

He is also the son of Capcom founder and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto, and the younger brother of President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto.

Career

[edit]

After graduating from university, Tsujimoto joined Capcom in April 1996.[2] As an avid fan of video games since childhood, he wanted to work on games directly. He has also said that he feels he would "never be good" at an ordinary office workplace.[3]

Tsujimoto was originally assigned as a planner of arcade games such as Battle Circuit and Tech Romancer. Afterwards, he started working on console games where he helped plan online software. One of these games was Monster Hunter (2004) where he was involved in online play planning and administration.[4]

He has been the Monster Hunter series producer since the release of Monster Hunter Freedom 2 in 2007, helping oversee all aspects of production.[5]

In 2018, he was promoted to be a Managing Corporate Officer as well as the Head of Consumer Games Development Division 2 at Capcom.[6]
