Huh.
Resident Evil and Onimusha are where he gained his fame, but considering he has struggled with hearing since 17, that might explain this masterpiece from the Resident Evil 1 Director’s Cut:
Go on, click it. Click it and be amazed.

After listening to that, I can understand why any Ghost Writer would find it hard to come out in public.
