Daigo Ikeno, also known under his real name Ikeno Metaka (池野目高?), is a character designer, illustrator and art director who works for Capcom. He has done various images for their products ever since he was hired in 1993.
History[]
At the time of joining Capcom, he was involved in development as a dotter, but passed the examination and became a member of the design room.[1] His first job in the design room was the character illustration of the 3DO version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo.[1] Kinu Nishimura, who was checking the illustrations at that time, was very strict.[1]
The muscular expression of the character illustrations is strongly influenced by Bengus.[2] He also cites manga's such as "Shape Up Ran," "Kinnikuman," "Fist of the North Star," and "Dragon Ball" as his personal roots.[2]
