As a senior manager of Audio Department, Tomoya Kishi has assigned about 90 sound creators to each project and manages everything from the creative aspect to each member's physical and mental health. He is responsible for the audio of all Capcom game titles.
He joined Capcom in 2001 and worked as a sound designer and audio director on a number of titles, including the "Lost Planet" series and "Dragon's Dogma". He brought game-specific "implementation" to audio post-production, and through a number of collaborations, established an efficient and high-quality workflow and created a new creative approach to game audio.
The connection with AES was triggered by the industry-academia collaboration of the Interactive Reverb for Game Audio with Mr.Nakahara, Acoustician and Professor Hanyu of Architectural Acoustics. It's a flexible and high-quality reverb suitable for game audio using Statistical acoustics. He presented the result at AES 41st Conference - Audio for Games in 2011 and 133th AES Convention San Francisco in 2012.
