Kamiya's passion for Okami is well-documented. He's publicly expressed his desire to complete the narrative, viewing the original as unfinished. His new venture, a collaboration with Capcom (the original publisher), finally brings this vision to life.

Clovers Inc., a joint venture with former PlatinumGames colleague Kento Koyama, pays homage to Clover Studio, the developer of the original Okami. The studio's focus is on quality over quantity, prioritizing a shared creative vision among its 25 employees. Koyama manages the business aspects, allowing Kamiya to concentrate on game development.

Kamiya's departure from PlatinumGames, a company he co-founded, surprised many. While he remains tight-lipped about the specifics, he hints at philosophical differences regarding game development. The opportunity to build Clovers Inc. with Koyama, who shares his creative vision, proved irresistible.

A Softer Side?

Kamiya's online persona is known for its bluntness. Recently, however, he's shown a more empathetic side, apologizing to a fan for past harsh interactions and engaging more positively with his community. This shift in demeanor coincides with the excitement surrounding the Okami sequel.
