http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/500x_asadatop.jpg They start out as normal looking dudes. Dudes you'd want to drink beer with, have a pizza with. Several pizzas. Then, they change. Whoosh!
There's been Microsoft's J Allard, Sony's Kaz Hirai (http://kotaku.com/255778/kaz-version-30) and SEGA's Toshihiro Nagoshi (http://kotaku.com/179608/from-monkey-to-yakuza-the-transmigration-of-toshihiro-nagoshi). But the latest game exec to go through a metamorphosis is Cave producer Makoto Asada.
Let's take a trip down memory lane.
http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/500x_asada1.jpg Here's Asada as he appeared during promotions for the first DeathSmiles shooting game. He's rotund and probably gets winded going up a flight of stairs at his local arcade, but he looks like a nice fellow. A gentle giant, if you will.
http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/500x_asada2.jpg This is an in-between period. Talking up the Xbox 360 version of Mushihime Sama Futari Ver. 1.5, Asada has decided he wants to make a change, a big change. However, the dye job is extreme. It shouts, hey, crazy hair! Watch out!! Yet the style is exactly the same.
http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/500x_asada3.jpg Asada as he appeared over the weekend at a Microsoft sponsored shooting game event. Look at that suit, that brand new hair. This guy doesn't eat pizza. He eats fancy food at fancy restaurant and can probably recommend a good beaujolais.
Bravo to Asada and these other individuals for improving themselves. Way better than the opposite, no?
*applause*
