From ZeroWiki
Goichi Suda (須田剛一, Suda Goichi, born January 2, 1968 in Nagano), is a videogame director and the CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture. His nickname, Suda51, is taken from his given name. "Go" means 5 and "ichi" means 1. He is credited (as "Goichi Suda") as co-producer of Fatal Frame IV and also helped write the storyline.
He previously worked as an undertaker before joining Human Entertainment as a scenario writer on Super Fire Pro Wrestling 3 Final Bout. The sequel, Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, has earned an infamous reputation due to its shock ending. Suda later worked on games in the Syndrome series up until his departure in 1998, shortly before Human disbanded. Around this time, he created Grasshopper Manufacture and began work on The Silver Case.
Suda is currently working on several titles:
- Project 'S', a series based on the Snatcher series, with Hideo Kojima
- An untitled, multi-platform action horror game with Shinji Mikami
- No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle for the Wii
