Yusuke Amano

Yusuke Amano is the director for Splatoon.

Work in Splatoon
Yusuke Amano began working on Splatoon with Hisashi Nogami and Tsubasa Sakaguchi near the end of his work on New Super Mario Bros. 2. Not much is known about his contributions to the game, but as director, it is assumed that he played a large role in gameplay mechanics, character design, and Splatoon's overall functionality.

Trivia

 * Amano later revealed that the game's matchmaking does not pair up players based on level, as many would assume, but rather on play style. For example, players who amass a lot of splats will be put on a team, and players who simply focus on inking turf will be put on another.
