While Yasuhara has worked for many companies in his career he is most well known for being the director of many of the original Sonic the Hedgehog titles and working next to Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka. Hirokazu Yasuhara has also worked at 2K Sports and even Naughty Dog.
There’s no sign yet as to what Mr Yasahara will be doing at NST but there hasn’t been a title out of them for a while so they might be working on something big.
