You probably aren’t familiar with the name Chihiro Fujioka, which is a real shame — he’s had a three-decade career in the game industry spanning myriad roles, from co-founding Mario & Luigi developer Alphadream (and working in various design roles throughout the series), to being a member of Nobuo Uematsu’s…
