Yoshifuru Okamoto plops down on a couch and slips out of his blazer, but he does not relax.

The main booth for Soleil, the Tokyo-based studio where Okamoto serves as president, is awash in bright fluorescent light and dressed up like an American diner from the 1950s, but this side room is small and dark, illuminated mostly by a few neon lights overhead and a flat-screen TV on the wall displaying the start screen for Wanted: Dead.

Okamoto's demeanor is energetic and pronounced. His hands dance as he speaks, and he taps a table in front of him with an index finger to emphasize a point. Okamoto wants to talk about Wanted: Dead and wants everyone to play it. He also wants everyone to know something else — Wanted: Dead is not Ninja Gaiden.
