Master legend Horry's childhood.

Horai comes from a family who runs a glass shop in Awaji Island for a living. Horai Yuji's childhood ambition was to become a lawyer, but he became a cartoonist in middle school. After graduating from high school, he entered the Literature Department of Waseda University for further study and participated in the Comic Book Research Association. Start writing TV programs from 1975. A car accident occurred the following year, which caused the internal organs to rupture. Stay in hospital for 3 months, drop out of school and go back to China to recuperate.

After graduating from Waseda University, Horai became a freelancer, mainly writing reviews. Horai's life didn't have a new starting point until he participated in the first game programming contest held by Ennix.

Horry and DQ

As the chief producer of DQ in past dynasties, I always sigh when talking about that game contest. Although the success of DQ is inseparable from Horry's talent, if Horry did not participate in that contest; If you don't win the prize in the competition; If the judges were not Morita Kazuhiro and Nakamura Koichi, then history would be rewritten, and of course there would be no DQ.

Horai and Koike

It has been 198 1 year since Horai and Koike became teachers. At that time, Koike was at the peak of the cartoonist's career, and Horai also targeted the cartoonist at this time. At that time, Horai was very interested in writing novels and stories with computers, and then he began to make his own programs with computers.

Horai's game started as a divination program. This program makes a general survey of what Horai's friends did the day before, and then displays it. It is a boring little program for friends to see when they come to play. But friends who don't know computers are surprised to see the program that displays the message "I went to the movies yesterday".

Horai, who tasted the sweetness, slowly began to do more programs, and finally made a story with dialogue. This is the origin of Horai's serial killings in the port city and some RPG game stories.

Koike's teaching is that the role should be designed first, now or before. But games like Horai let players enter them as characters, so they can't become characters in the game. Therefore, Horai believes that other characters can call themselves by their first names and let players experience the game emotionally, which is the shaping of characters.

In addition, Horai also said that "The Brave Fight the Dragon" was also filmed with reference to Koike's teaching. Koike once said that "a name can be composed of simple sentences and difficult sentences", which is the origin of the two words "ドラゴン" that everyone knows and "クェスト" that most gamers should know. In addition, Koike also said that he could "add a voiced voice to his lines" and so on.

Horai and Wii

About four years ago, there was a game on the original hardware called DQ. The content of the game is that players wield toy swords to knock down monsters appearing in TV pictures. This game is produced by Jun Murakami of SE City. This "DQS" is also the proposal of Mr. Shimamura. "I want to be a DQ that can flexibly use the function of Wii remote control." Speaking of Wii, Nintendo showed it to me in the fairly early development stage of Wii, and then I had the idea that it would be good to make a DQ of somatosensory department like DQ of Sword God. But at that time, all kinds of other projects were very busy, so I planned to be responsible for the supervision and repair as I did when I made Sword God. But on second thought, this is a DQ on the new platform of Wii, how can it be careless! So I also decided to fully participate in the production.

Horai and negative news

After Sakamoto, the father of life and death, was caught in a scandal of sexually harassing his subordinates, Horai tactfully criticized Sakamoto in an interview with the media, asking him to cherish the opportunity and not insult the aura of the game or the producer. Sakaguchi's companion letter was unconvinced. He retorted that Horai sexually harassed his subordinates more than he did. In fact, players will have their own standards in their hearts.
