[[Tetsuya Nomura]] is a 41 year old director and graphic designer from Kochi Prefecture in Japan. He currently works for [[Square Enix]], where most gamers know him from his character designs in the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series.
Squaresoft originally hired him as a debugger to work on ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''. He moved on to graphic designing for the subsequent two games, as well as several other RPG games for the [[Super Nintendo]]. His employer approached him to do character designs for ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. The game succeeded in becoming the definitive game of the [[PlayStation]], and he would go on to design characters in subsequent games, succeeding the previous designer [[Yoshitaka Amano]], as well as a number of other properties.
Line 9:
The designer is best known for his use of [[Zipperiffic|zippers]] and [[Too Many Belts|belts]]. While he can produce simple and practical belts, as can be seen on his first iteration of Cid, he has a tendency to go for elaborate designs. These can range from the mildly practical, such as in Sora's case, to the downright improbable mesh of Lulu's skirt (which is seemingly ''[[Too Many Belts|made of belts]]'').

* [[Art Evolution]]: His art style changed starkly from ''[[Final Fantasy]] VII'' to ''VIII'' and then changed again for the first ''Kingdom Hearts''. He's undergone another change since then and seems to have settled down for now.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Worked sea-salt ice cream into ''Kingdom Hearts II'' as the [[Trademark Favorite Food]] of Ansem when he tried it on a trip to Disney World and discovered he liked it. Subverted with Luxord, his favorite Organization XIII member who easily has the smallest role of them all.
