Little is known about Hoshi Murakami, except that he came from a generally dysfunctional, but well-off family. Throughout his sudden, and surprising rise to semi-fame in the world of movies and video games, he managed to maintain an air of aloof-ness, frequently insisting that there wasn’t much of interest to discuss in regards to his life, family, or even himself.

He is frequently cited for his imaginative, whimsical concept art, which has helped to build the aesthetic of numerous successful titles. Among his coworkers and peers, he is known for his frequent all-nighters, his love of soda, his dedicated work ethic, and for his lack of attentiveness relating to his health in general. It was this work ethic, coupled with the success of most games he had a creative hand in, that led to his quiet and humble acceptance of the title SHSL Concept Artist.
