Okami director would love to continue the series

The last male character I want to touch upon is Issun in Okami. He isn’t a playable character, not to mention you don’t really see him during gameplay (LOL), but I think that people who have cleared Okami realize that he was a great main character. Conceptually, Issun is a childish character who manifests this immaturity in his extreme perversion and foul mouth; however, he is also a good-hearted, loyal, and compassionate figure. As Okami is an adventure game, Issun holds a special place as the character with the largest number of lines I have ever written, and as you move through the game, I think he is also the most fleshed out of my characters. Among all the characters I have created, he is the only character that hasn’t been used by another creator, and even now, he is a character whose story I feel I’d like to continue some day. - Hideki Kamiya, director of Okami

Capcom may not want anything to do with publishing a new Okami, but I bet SEGA might be interested. A spin-off game like this might be just enough to trick those that weren’t interested in Okami into checking it out. Thanks to Samfish for the heads up!
