Katsuhiro Harada
His parents would not buy him a home console, and as a result often sneaked into arcade centres, where he would occasionally be discovered and dragged out.[2] He attended Waseda University along with Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki[3] and holds a degree in psychology.His parents were initially unhappy with his pursuit in a career with the video game industry, but have since accepted him in his work.He is known within the fanbase for his sense of humor, such as his comical rivalry with former Street Fighter producer (producer from 2008-2020), Yoshinori Ono, jokes around the character Leo Kliesen in Tekken 6 because of their ambiguous gender, and for attending EVO 2017 in a shirt that read "Don't Ask Me for Shit".[citation needed] By 2019, Harada had been promoted to lead the fighting game esports division of Bandai Namco, as well as to being a general manager at the company overall.
