Veteran Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono, who helmed Street Fighter’s revival, leaves after more than 25 years with the game developer. Ono worked on Street Fighter, Dead Rising, Onimusha, and Deep Down.
Street Fighter producer and veteran Capcom developer Yoshinori Ono has resigned from the company and will leave Capcom this summer, he announced on Sunday. In a message on Twitter, Ono addressed criticism of this year’s Capcom Pro Tour tournament structure — the format moved entirely online, due to the coronavirus pandemic — and revealed his impending departure. “I’ve been with the Street Fighter brand for a long time, experiencing good times, bad times, and even non-existent times,” Ono said. “My heart is filled with appreciation to those players who’ve been giving warm and kind support on the brand especially little over the past decade or so as all the activities on the Street Fighter brand regained sunshine and grew its liveliness.
