Japanese mobile game developer Mobcast announced on Tuesday that it has hired former Konami Digital Entertainment executive Shinichi Hanamoto.
Hanamoto was a senior contents officer in charge of Konami's card games. In November 2014 he was promoted to general manager. Konami is the Japanese licensor and distributor of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game.
Hanamoto is the first hire in Mobcast's new "pro contract" program that hires highly skilled and experienced individuals, offers them a high degree of freedom, and provides royalties based on results of their work.
