Tetsuya Nomura

'''Tetsuya Nomura has mentioned multiple times that, although he is happy to take photos with anyone, he is not comfortable with seeing images of himself posted and spread around online. Out of respect, we will be using Tetsuya Nomura's appearance from Final Fantasy Record Keeper to portray him on this page.'''

Tetsuya Nomura (野村 哲也, Nomura Tetsuya) is a video game director and character designer at Square Enix. He joined the company sometime in the 1990s, starting as a debugger for Final Fantasy IV, then a monster designer for Final Fantasy V, before becoming a character designer for Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VII, which, due to the high success of those two titles, caused him to become a very prominent figure in most future titles developed by Square Enix.

He is the creator and director of both the Kingdom Hearts series and Verum Rex project, as well as other Square Enix titles such as The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
