Yuji Naka accused Dragon Quest producer of lying in court
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka has returned to social media after a 16-month absence, accusing Dragon Quest head producer Yu Miyake of lying during his insider trading trial.
As a reminder, last year Naka was sentenced to four years in prison for insider trading with a four-year suspended sentence and two fines totaling $1.2 million, after pleading guilty to purchasing shares based on confidential information while working at Square Enix.
The developer broke his silence on Twitter, where he had last posted in November 2022, shortly before being indicted. He claimed that Dragon Quest head producer Miyake lied in court documents:
“Finally. I was hoping he would leave soon, because he is the kind of person who would submit a memo containing lies (with evidence) to court. I have never met him, but the new [Square Enix] president might turn out to be a good person.”
It remains to be seen whether Yu Miyake will respond to the serious accusation from the father of Sonic over the next few days. There is a rumor that Miyake was recently transferred to lead the company's mobile division following delays to the release of Dragon Quest XII.
