Shinji Mikami
For hardcore fans of survival horror videogames, the history of the universe breaks down like this: Shinji Mikami was born on Aug. 11, 1965; he joined Capcom as a game planner in 1990; and his first Resident Evil game (called Biohazard in Japan) was released in 1996.

Mikami first worked on games like Aladdin on the SNES. Mikami's first games for Capcom were all based on Disney properties: Goof Troop, Aladdin, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? In 1996, though, he was ready to delve into more mature territory and almost single-handedly created the survival horror genre with Resident Evil on PlayStation (we say almost single-handedly because we're pretty sure one or two other people at Capcom worked on the game - don't quote us on that, though)

Originally a Capcom member (one of the oldest, actually), he then went to Sega with the rest of his fellow Clover members at Platinum Games. He completed Vanquish and worked with Suda51 and Akira Yamaoka on a comedy-horror game titled Shadows of the Damned.
In 2010 he founded Tango Gameworks, a subsidiary of ZeniMax Media (the same parent company as id Software and Bethesda) along with longtime Suda51 collaborator Masafumi Takada. He would eventually depart the company in 2023, with Tango briefly being closed in a
