Akihiko Yoshida

Akihiko Yoshida (吉田明彦) is a character designer for Square Enix. He helps create the character images and wardrobe that will appear on the character in the game. Yoshida joined Squaresoft, the company which would merge later with Enix to create Square Enix, in 1995. His work for Square includes character design for Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, and the upcoming Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War. He has also worked on the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy III. Work for the company that he has done not under a Final Fantasy title include Vagrant Story, which does have some relation to a few games in the Final Fantasy series.

Prior to working on Final Fantasy Tactics, Akihiki did work with Quest, along with Yasumi Matsuno, on the Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle, a pair of strategic role-playing games which are widely considered as the predecessors of Tactics.
