Tomoko Shiono

Staff Information

• Name: Tomoko Shiono / shio (kaeru in IIDX videos)
• Position: CG Designer, Pop'n Music 2(?) - present

Biographical Information

One of the earliest and most influential artists in all of Pop'n Music, shio is responsible for many of the character design changes that went on throughout the series, starting with Pop'n Music 5. The characters' designs would slowly change from their early beatmania-like appearances (incidentally, shio also worked on beatmania videos) to a more cartoony, anime style look. At her peak she was doing as much as half the character designs a game! Her position as head CG designer, though, has since passed on to eimy.
