Hidetaka Miyazaki
Hidetaka Miyazaki is a Japanese director born in 1974 and president of FromSoftware. He is the public face of the studio's modern action RPG line — the punishing-but-fair combat loop, environmental storytelling, and item-description lore that journalists shorthand as "Soulslike" design.
He joined FromSoftware in 2004 and later directed Demon's Souls, which set the template later refined in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring (the latter built with high-level world input from novelist George R. R. Martin).
