He began his career at Capcom through another ad promoting a reception party at the Hilton Hotel in Osaka, and eventually met Yoshiki Okamoto, who would later be his manager. The interview, which is the first part of two, lasts 36 minutes. The second part will premiere on October 29th.

The official description reads: “On his 30th career anniversary, we met Shinji Mikami, one of the most prolific creators and contributors in the game industry. In a long interview he told us about his beginnings at Capcom, the birth of the Resident Evil Series and his views on the horror genre. ”
