If you were to take [[David Lynch]], [[Quentin Tarantino]] and a Luchador and lock them in a room surrounded by Sci-Fi movies, anime and [[Andy Warhol]] paintings, you'd get something quite close to the inside of Goichi Suda's mind.

Goichi Suda, or Suda 51 as he's better known, is one of the most [[Mind Screw|Mind Screwing]] game designers out there. He's the head of Grasshopper Manufacture and is known for making games which create a unique, if slightly/extremely unsettling, experience. He frequently collaborates with music composers [[Masafumi Takada]] and [[Akira Yamaoka]].

[[Signature Style|Common themes]] include assassins, hotels, Mexican wrestling and random pop culture references.
