Masaki Matsuno (松野 雅樹) is a Japanese engineer and developer. He joined Sega in April 1985, starting out with early engineering work on Space Harrier.[1] By the end of the decade, he had begun work on what would later become the R360, heading personnel soon belonging to the AM4 development division where he would then design the Astro City.[1] After further engineering on Virtua Formula with AM5[1] and later Aqua Stage with AM6, Matsuno appears to have left Sega during the late 1990s.
