president of Koei : Itagaki Not Welcome At Koei Tecmo

Ex-Tecmo man Itagaki left the company earlier this year and filed a lawsuit against the publisher claiming it owed him bonus pay for his work on Dead or Alive 4.

However, the recent announcement of the merger between Tecmo and Koei sparked rumours that the wild Itagaki, creator of the Ninja Gaden series, may be returning to the company.

However, Koei president Kenji Matsubara told Famitsu that there was "no possibility" of Itagaki being employed by the company following the merger.

The two publishers are set to merge on 1 April 2009 to create Koei Tecmo Holdings.

I don't think Itagaki would want to come back to them, it seems the company want some publicity.

meh, we just need Intagaki, Kojima, Mikami to work together on some super doopa Stealth, ninja, Horror game....called: Ninja-Gear-Evil. Eyezonmii

Like Itagaki, Mikami also had issues with his employer as he is no long with Capcom. But Itagaki had a great working relationship within Team Ninja. Claiming that he doesn't even need to communicate to fine detail with his team. If his team had problems and came to him he would know exactly what to tell them and vice versa and they were all on the same page seemlessly.

It came from that one interview I'm not sure which one but I'll try to find it. 

Koei don't make good games, so it isn't surprising they don't want somebody there that create good games.too_much_eslim

Capcom takes Itagaki to make Strider action game.waynehead895

It says he's the creator of the Ninja Gaiden series, but I wonder is he the creator/designer of the NES games? dotWithShoes
