Daisuke Ishiwatari is a man of many talents. He is a video game developer, artist, voiceover actor, writer, guitarist and composer, and is the man chiefly responsible for the Guilty Gear series of fighting games.

By “chiefly responsible for,” it means that he is the man behind every item of the list that preceded that statement. He designed the original 1997 PlayStation version of Guilty Gear, designed the characters, was the voice of the main character, wrote the story, plus wrote and performed the music for it.

He continues to be the driving force behind the series, and he still writes multiple songs for each character with every new entry in the Guilty Gear franchise. He also writes music for the BlazBlue series, and composed the soundtrack for Hard Corps: Uprising.
