Takumi MIYAKE / 三宅拓己
According to Yasushi Yamaguchi, Miyake was part of the team that, after Sonic 2, created a reference document defining Sonic’s appearance for outside contractors. This team included Yamaguchi, Miyake, Naoto Ohshima and Satoshi Okano. 3 of these 4 people took part in redesigning Sonic in 1997 during an internal contest, and Yuji Uekawa’s design was finally chosen.
