Things are going from bad to worse for Tecmo. First Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki announced he was leaving and suing Tecmo, while a totally separate lawsuit has been filed against Tecmo by Hiroaki Ozawa and co-plaintiff Tatsuki Tsunoda. Ozawa is the Tecmo Labour Union leader and Ninja Gaiden 2 lead engineer, while Tsunoda is the Ninja Gaiden 2 level design lead. Two key Team Ninja members! That alone does not bode well for Tecmo. But, this isn’t just a story of two guys trying to get some overtime, but also apparently of deception, falsified statements and a dead, beloved company president. There’s concrete evident in the plaintiff’s claims — so concrete that it could very well be the silver bullet for Tecmo’s current upper management.
