Found a potential new EPD (EPD Tokyo) game designer who claims to have been a lead game designer on multiple projects at EPD Tokyo since August 2022. One problem is that his name doesn't exactly check out with any of his history. There is he likelihood that he used a different first name in the West (not Yasuhiro) but I can't find a last name Yamada to any of his work experience —- especially Insomniac where he claimed to be a game designer.
