Who is the producer of the Splatoon series?

Hisashi Nogami is the producer of the Splatoon series.

Nogami is a Nintendo video game designer, director, and producer who became closely associated with Splatoon from its creation and development. He also worked on major Nintendo properties including Animal Crossing, and his experience helped shape Splatoon’s characters, world, and multiplayer-focused identity.

The title “producer” can be confused with other important credits. Shintaro Sato is credited as a creator of the series, while figures such as Shigeru Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma, and Kensuke Tanabe are prominent Nintendo developers associated with other franchises or projects. They are not the canonical answer to this question.

Nogami’s Nintendo career began in the 1990s, including art work on Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. He later produced the original Splatoon, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3. His role is distinct from that of each game’s directors, composers, and development teams, but “producer of the Splatoon series” is the standard quiz answer.
