Famed Shining Force and Landstalker character designer Yoshitaka Tamaki has died aged 55 after battling lung cancer.

Tamaki actually passed back in July, but his family have only just made the news of his death public after a private mourning period.

Tamaki’s character design credits are featured in Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, Shining Soul 1&2, Feda Remake: The Emblem of Justice, Time Stalkers, Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon and Shining Force Neo.

SEGADriven would like to send our condolences to Tamaki’s friends, family and colleagues. He leaves a legacy that will never be forgotten.
