About Naoto Ohshima

Known best for designing the popular Dr. Eggman and Sonic the Hedgehog video game characters, this one-time Sega Corporation employee later founded two other video game development companies: Artoon and Arzest.

Naoto Ohshima is a Japanese video game artist and designer best known for designing the characters Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. Although Yuji Naka made a first tech demo based on Sonic's gameplay, his prototype character was a bullet that lacked specific features. Sonic Team weighed a lot of potential animal mascots before deciding on Ohshima's design, where a zodiac or porcupine are the best choices because their spikes work well with the concept of rolling into enemies. After leaving Sonic Team, Ohshima founded an independent game company called Artoon. There, he continued to work on games like Pinobee and Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and in 2004, Blinx's sequel, Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space. In 2010, Artoon was absorbed by AQ Interactive. That same year, he and the other key members of Artoon left to form Arzest.
