Akihiro Hino And Takahiro Miyazawa Join Yoshi-P Radio And Yoshi-P Night In Shibuya
The Hino session is billed around building a new IP and pulling the company through a difficult period by launching one, which is the part of the evening worth watching for anyone tracking where Level-5's next project comes from.

Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino and indie developer Takahiro Miyazawa are the guests at Yoshi-P Radio and Yoshi-P Night, held October 24 at the Shibuya creator hub 404 Not Found and hosted by Shuhei Yoshida and Masahiko Murakami. Miyazawa discusses solo development and the ideas behind his special controllers, while Hino looks back on his creative journey and the trial and error of creating new IP.
The two sessions split by discipline. Miyazawa's hour covers solo development and the thinking behind controllers built for specific games, with "Kao UFO," the top award winner at the indie event SENSE OF WONDER NIGHT 2026 inside TGS2026, scheduled for introduction. His part is recorded in a studio inside the venue and screened on the venue screen at the same time. Hino's hour covers the trial and error of shaping a new IP and how launching one carried the company through a difficult stretch. Capacity is about 60 people, advance registration is required, and entry is free on the condition of buying a drink at 404 Cafe.
