Who is Makoto Sanada?

I enjoyed Angels of Death and now I am playing Noel the Mortal Fate and like it also. So out of curiosity I tried to google anything about author(s)/developer(s) of this games. All I was able to find was short information, the same you can find on Steam store pages: „developer: Makoto Sanada ” or sometimes: „developer: Hoshikuzu KRNKRN (Makoto Sanada)”.

What is Hoshikuzu KRNKRN? Is Makoto Sanada single/only game author? Is this male or female name? (In SFIII Makoto is name for female character). Anyone knows any details and can share?

Hey, Developer! If you read this, share some info about yourself, we are curious!

(FYI, I'm not the developer!)

Makoto Sanada uses Hoshikuzu KRNKRN as a pen name sometimes.
Their website is here: http://nanos.jp/hskzkrnkrn/
Also, they made Angels of Death and Forest of Drizzling Rain.


Noel the Mortal Fate is made by KANAWO. They also made a game called Blank Dream.

Ah, my bad, both games have the same developer/publisher Vaka Game Magazine but different authors. "Their website"?! I am not English native speaker so maybe I am missing something. Is this team effort or not? I was under impression that whole game was created by single person? Website you linked is in Japanese, google translation is some terrible mess and, anyway, the site seems to be lacking any info about author.

Makoto Sanada is one person.
The reason I don't say if they are male or female is because some of the developers I work with like to keep it secret/don't talk about it.
So unless Makoto Sanada announces it publicly, I will be unable to answer that question.

Thank you for understanding.
