With more than 30 years of experience, Tomonobu Itagaki said that entering the field of Web3.0 is completely new for him but really rewarding since he can work with new technologies. Although the industry is still brand-new, Itagaki believes it will grow steadily.

His Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series have created multiple sales records in the Japanese game industry, which has made him an icon and one of the highest-grossing game series producers in Japan.

He explained his intention to make games—real experiences—where people can compete against each other. He also commented that he was interested in not only developing games based on nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, but also the Metaverse and is planning to use the technologies as a great weapon. Itagaki believes it is vital to embrace the changes and take on the new challenges inherent in blockchain technology.

This all makes me want to puke.
