As a big fan of his work for over 20 years and as someone who tried to land a job at Tango last year (only to be told by the HR manager that he departed from the studio, lol) this is great news. Many questions arise here, though: 1. Will the studio hire international talent? 2. When he says young, how young are we talking about? 20s? 30s? As far as I know, a company called KAMUY was established in Tokyo late last year. Not much else especially regarding HR, Talent Acquisition, etc. was shared. Anyway, thank you for sharing, and keep the good content coming.

Funnily enough, I only learned a while ago that Tango's HQ is located in Odaiba in Tokyo, and that was somewhere I spent hours traipsing around when I was in Japan back in January without any idea that's where they were. Definitely gonna be paying them a visit when I'm there again in September.

Kamuy is Ainu for a spiritual entity like a daimon.
