  • Yusuke Kozaki ( コザキユースケ Kozaki Yūsuke) is an illustrator and character designer. He went to a graphic design school where he studied publicity oriented design and commercial use. From there he started work as a character designer starting with the 2005 anime series Speed Grapher and accepted the job in order to earn money (despite initially wanting to become a 'Mangaka' comic artist/cartoonist). After trying the job and finding it interesting, he got more work in that field in the animation, film, and videogame industry. For his art he used to draw on paper first before finishing the project digitally on the computer, but has since then exclusively produced digital art, mainly using Photoshop. Kozaki provided the character designs and official artwork for Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates. Regarding as to whether specific instructions where present for what each character were to look like in Awakening, Kozaki stated that he was given the personality of each character from the production company and from this concept could freely design the character. He would draw a few designs for each character, with the production company choosing the final design from these. Despite his heightened prominence within the Fire Emblem series emerging from his work in Awakening, his first contact with the series began back in 2001 where he contributed three card illustrations for the Fire Emblem: Trading Card Game as part of the Jugdral Anthology set. He also created two Newcomer artworks for Robin, Lucina, and Corrin in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
