Akira Kitamura is a former video game artist and director.[1] He is the creator of the character Mega Man.[2][3] He worked on the first three games in the series as a planner and artist. He is also the director of the 1991 game Cocoron, which was released only in Japan.
Due to the prominent practice of only using pseudonyms for credits, Kitamura is variously credited as "Famicon Akira" or "A.K" on many of the games he worked on.[4]
