Makoto KANŌ / 加納誠

Makoto KANŌ “did all-around design work—design aspect of the (Game & Watch) games, the faceplate around the LCD, the color of the system, the packaging, and so on” (including the character design). He started working on Ball -the first G&W game- when the project was already in development. Yoshio Sakamoto joined his team as a designer in 1982 (Sources: 1, 2, 3)
