'''Daisuke Ishiwatari''' is a Japanese writer, illustrator, programmer, designer, heavy metal musician, king of serving tea, and [[Queen|Mr. Badguy]] that works for [[Arc System Works]]. His artwork is notable for having a very distinctive rough aesthetic, and his music is known for its intricate guitar work.
 
His claim to fame is his work on the cult hit [[Fighting Game]] series, ''[[Guilty Gear]]'', in which he produced the artwork, wrote the story, programmed a good deal of the games, and provided its [[Crowning Music of Awesome|godly soundtracks]]. Oh, and he also provided the voice for lead character, Sol Badguy, as well as his past self, Order-Sol (except in Story Modes). As anyone who's looked at the character list or their respective moves knows, it's evident that he is a major rock enthusiast. His favorite band is ''[[Queen]]''.
 
With production rights to the Guilty Gear franchise temporarily lost to Sega, he along with [[Arc System Works]] went on to create a [[Spiritual Successor]] in the form of ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', where Ishiwatari merely provided inspiration, character selection artwork, and produced the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|sound track.]] He also provided the voice of Freed in ''[[Battle Fantasia]]'', another [[Arc System Works]] project.
 
Recently he provided the soundtrack to [[Hard Corps: Uprising]], and it is still every bit as eargasmic as the aforementioned soundtracks, if not moreso.
 
A little known fact: he used to work for a little company called [[SNK]], and was one of the main designers and programmers for ''[[The Last Blade]]'' series. The gameplay of ''[[Last Blade]]'' would later resurface in the form of [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Hakumen]].
