Kazuko Shibuya created basically all graphics in the early Final Fantasy games. The chibi characters? That's her. The monsters? That's her. The menus and fonts? That's her. She created 100% of the graphics in the first Mana game. But no Wikipedia page so I've started a draft 
@Skazuko I have to stress this. Her name doesn't appear on the Final Fantasy series page. Her name appears once in the entry for the first game, despite her doing almost all the in-game graphics including user interface design, spell animations, and even the iconic opening bridge scene
@Skazuko I'm aware some games in that era didn't have detailed credits but Final Fantasy is a series where the creators have become legends and are well-known so I find it odd that someone so important isn't mentioned as much. She played a big role in the making the series so popular
@Skazuko People are much more likely to know the art of Yoshitaka Amano without realising that any concept art he provided was redesigned as in-game graphics by Kazuko Shibuya, which was a big ask given his work and the limitations of the Famicom
It's still a bit of a mess but it's accepted already. Starting to make connections with other pages
I always stick this on the end if I'm getting new followers. If you appreciate what I do maybe consider helping me out?
