Tokuro Fujiwara

Capcom

After a short stint at Konami, Fujiwara joined Capcom in 1983 alongside Yoshiki Okamoto. Fujiwara directed early Capcom titles such as the run-and-gun shooter Commando (1985), the platformers Ghosts 'n Goblins (1985) and Bionic Commando (1987), and the survival horror game Sweet Home (1989). He was also the main producer for the Mega Man series, a producer and advisor for Capcom's Disney games, and worked on the CP System arcade game Strider (1989). He also conceived of Resident Evil as a remake of his earlier game Sweet Home and worked on the game as general producer.

Whoopee Camp

Fujiwara left Capcom in 1996 to form his own studio, Whoopee Camp. He was joined at the new company by Harumi Fujita, who had composed music for his games at Capcom in the 1980s and 1990s. The studio was short lived, producing only Tomba and Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return before its closure in 2000. The company had been developing the PlayStation 2 title Extermination before its closure.

Later work

Fujiwara worked as a consultant on Extermination (2001). The game was being developed in the same building as Whoopee Camp's office at the time. Fujiwara has occasionally used the Whoopee Camp name since for his projects including Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection (2021), and Tomba: Special Edition (2024).
