Irem's Kazuma Kujo Forms New Company
The man behind Disaster Report and Bumpy Trot now working at "Granzella."
The troubled Irem has lost one of its biggest creators. Kazuma Kujo, the main force behind Bumpy Trot and Disaster Report, has left Irem to form a new company called Granzella.
Granzella is located in Kanazawa, in Ishikawa Prefecture. The company was formed in April of this year. Areas of business include planning, production and sales of consumer game software.
You'll find the Granzella official site here.
A message at the site lists Kujo as a game designer and a "Tsuyoshi Nagura" as CEO.
For those keeping score at home, this is the news that Platinum Games' Atsushi Inaba was teasing earlier today. Inaba refers to Kujo as a creator he greatly respects.
