Shun Kazakami is a veteran pixel artist (who worked in 90`s for consoles and Arcade) and Illustrator, with a lot of years of experience in creating art for  videogames, Illustrations, and character design, and currently he is working as a mangaka artist.


Q: What was your first encounter with pixel art?

Kazakami-San: I think my first encounter was Taito's Space Invaders. Next was Namco's Galaxian, which went a step further by giving characters multiple colors.
