Yuji Naka, co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, has returned to social media after an extended hiatus to accuse Dragon Quest producer Yu Miyake of lying during Naka’s insider trading trial last year.
In March 2023, Naka pleaded guilty to insider trading following his arrest in November 2022. He was then sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail and multiple fines totalling just under £1m; he was later given a suspended sentence.
Now, Naka has posted on social media platform X in response to the news that Miyake is leaving his position as Dragon Quest series producer as part of a reshuffle at Square Enix. Miyake will now head the company’s mobile game division.
