Rika Suzuki

Overview

An early pioneer in Japan's adventure genre, Rika Suzuki (鈴木 理香) began working in the game industry after co-founding Riverhill Soft with Kazuhiro Okazaki in 1983. After producing several adventure titles, she would eventually become famous for creating the J.B. Harold and 1920 Series in the mid-80s and 90s. Later Suzuki would help found CiNG with Takuya Miyagawa in 1999 where she wrote and designed the Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk franchises with Nintendo. Following the bankruptcy of CiNG in 2010, she continued writing online novels at Bellwood, a company she formed in April 2009. Suzuki has also wrote the story for a mobile RPG called Black Rose Suspects in 2017 and has lectured at schools like the Human Academy in Tokyo.
