Makoto Osaki

Makoto Osaki is a developer at AM2 originally involved with stage design work. His first major project was Daytona USA 2, where he served as Director.

Towards the end of the '90s, Osaki's role shifted to that of a supervisor. He has since maintained this position (showing the most prominence in Shenmue II), with exceptions being The King of Route 66 (as Producer), Virtua Quest (as Director) and Virtua Fighter 5 and its revisions (again, as Director).
