Kow Yokoyama / 横山宏 - Part 1: 1984-1987 https://www.facebook.com/kow.yokoyama http://homepage3.nifty.com/kow/ http://kow.c.ooco.jp/ Part 2: http://videogamesdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/166919653155/kow-yokoyama-%E6%A8%AA%E5%B1%B1%E5%AE%8F-part-2-1987-1996 Part 3: http://videogamesdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/166957013780/kow-yokoyama-%E6%A8%AA%E5%B1%B1%E5%AE%8F-part-3-1999-2012 Part 4: http://videogamesdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/167011326790/kow-yokoyama-%E6%A8%AA%E5%B1%B1%E5%AE%8F-part-4-other-video-game Creator of the S.F.3.D Original (1982), also known as the Maschinen Krieger which influenced many games (Destiny, Hawken, the Metal Gear series) and artists around the world, although it seems his creations are more known than the creator himself -Yokoyama doesn’t even have a dedicated Wikipedia page other than the Japanese one. He is mostly known for his mecha models but he also created models and dioramas for other genres such as fantasy and science fiction as well as illustrations and concept art for many games. He was a regular contributor to MSX Magazine in the mid-80s and produced many illustrations for it. I’m not sure if he produced new content for each of the Carnage Heart episode. He is credited for the design of the OKE (OverKill Engines).

Favourite Director/Actor Collaborations: Kurosawa/Mifune
Between 1948 and 1965, Akira Kurosawa directed 17 films. Of those 17, Toshiro Mifune starred in all but one. While the two had a falling out after the filming of their last collaboration, Red Beard, their mutual respect for one another remained intact until the end.
Kurosawa has this quality, this ability to bring things out of you that you never knew were there. It is enormously difficult work, but each picture with him is a revelation. When you see his films, you find them full realizations of ideas, of emotions, of a philosophy which surprises with its strength, even shocks with its power. You had not expected to be so moved, to find within your own self this depth of understanding. — Toshiro Mifune
I am a person who is rarely impressed by actors, but in the case of Mifune, I was completely overwhelmed. — Akira Kurosawa
