About Yoko Taro
- Yoko Taro (?? ??, Yoko Taro, born June 6, 1970) is a Japanese video game director and scenario writer.
- Starting his career at the now-defunct game company Cavia, he became known for his work on the action role-playing video game series Drakengard and its two spin-offs: Nier and its sequel, Nier: Automata.
- Yoko was born in Nagoya, Aichi, and studied at the Kobe Design University in the 1990s.
- While initially not intending to pursue a career in video games, after working at Namco and Sony, he joined Cavia and became the director and scenario writer for the first Drakengard game.
- He has since worked extensively on every game in the series (except Drakengard 2), as well as on mobile titles after becoming a freelancer after Cavia's absorption into AQ Interactive. Yoko has become known for his style of game design, incorporating unconventional design choices and stories.
- One of the main aspects of his work is exploring the darker aspects of people, such as why they are driven to kill each other, although he typically does not share a common opinion on his story's dark natures.
- His writing technique, described as "backwards scriptwriting," involves outlining the ending of the story first and building the narrative backward from that point.
- Due to his dislike of being photographed, he generally wears a mask when giving interviews or presenting games.
