Hidetaka Miyazaki (?? ??, Miyazaki Hidetaka, born in Shizuoka, Japan) is a Japanese video game director, designer, writer, and company president of FromSoftware.
He originally joined them in 2004 as a game designer for the Armored Core series, and soon became internationally known for directing the Souls series, starting with Demon's Souls in 2009.
Other notable games he has directed include Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Miyazaki's influences range from the works of various novelists, mangakas, and other game designers such as Fumito Ueda and Yuji Horii, as well as Asian and European architecture.
Miyazaki's games, particularly the Souls series, often invoke the use of high difficulty, strong visual and environmental storytelling, and a large amount of setting and character background information provided through mostly vague flavor text and fluff.
His work in the Souls series has been seen as influential, with him winning a lifetime achievement award and generally being called an auteur of video games.
