Amano is perhaps the best-known artist among videogamers, mainly for his ethereal, otherworldly character designs on the Final Fantasy series. My colleagues at Ziff, Jason and Milky, recently went to visit him at his home studio in Tokyo. In a country where few friends are invited over for a cup of tea, it's a rare glimpse into an artist's private life. Big thanks to Hiroko Minamoto for hooking up the translations!
