![]() ![]() Itoi had a passion for manga, so much so that he wanted to become a manga artist. As a teenager, he became increasingly interested in writing and literature. Shigesato Itoi attended high school at Gunma Prefecture Maebashi High School. Itoi has stated that this was a very traumatic experience for him and went on to be an inspiration for a certain boss battle in a game that he had worked on later in his life, but we’ll touch upon that in Part 2. ![]() The scene consisted of a man and a pregnant woman about to make love outside on a bed of grass, until the man begins to strangle the woman to death. He was unintentionally in the wrong theatre and witnessed a disturbing scene from the movie 憲兵とバラバラ死美人 ( Kenpei to Barabara Shibijin – The Military Policeman and the Dismembered Beauty). One of Itoi’s earliest memories that stuck with him throughout his life was when he was ten years old at a cinema. Throughout his childhood, he rarely saw his mother and his father was a prominent legal advisor who rarely had time to spend with his children, so it fell to Itoi’s grandmother to take care of him and his older sister. His father had remarried when he was in his third year of school. Itoi had a difficult upbringing as his parents divorced not long after he was born. Shigesato Itoi was born on Novemin Maebashi, located in the Gunma Prefecture in the northern region of Kant ō. He has delved into many other creative mediums, including: copywriting, film, manga, and writing novels and essays. However, video games only make up a small portion of Itoi’s professional career. Today is the 70th birthday of Mother/Earthbound creator Shigesato Itoi, for which he is most commonly known for in the world of video games. ![]() We're partnered with Skillshare, where you can do unlimited online courses that'll help you create art, make games, and even help you with school/university!
