PEOPLE: - Satomi Asakawa, age 48. Character Designer for Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Spirit Tracks, & Skyward Sword. Character Design Lead for Twilight Princess . - Eiji Aonuma, age 56. Director of Majora’s Mask, director or producer of many other Zelda titles.. QUOTE: "Asakawa: I sent [my student film project] One Big Banana to Nintendo, and it’s a big reason I got a job there. After joining the company, I actually got the nickname ‘baby monkey’ because of the film! People at Nintendo would say, ‘If you need monkeys and animal characters, ask Ms. Maekawa!’ So naturally, I ended up handling most of the animal NPCs in Zelda, like owls and monkeys. The idea of the white monkey of Majora’s Mask was Mr. Aonuma’s idea, but I received the offer to design the character from Mr. Aonuma by name. … I think that the white monkey in Majora’s Mask actually is very similar to myself."
