Shinkiro

Shinkiro (森気楼) (born December 14, 1962), whose real name is Toshiaki Mori, is a Japanese illustrator and conceptual artist currently employed by Capcom. His art style and techniques are well known among fans due to his use of shading and lighting, giving his images a more realistic feel rather than an animated look commonly seen in manga or anime.

Biography
Prior to joining Capcom, Shinkiro was employed by SNK, where he provided the character designs and cover illustrations for several of their most famous franchises, including The King of Fighters and Metal Slug. In 2000, Shinkiro was laid off due to SNK's bankruptcy.

He has also done covers for American comics such as Spider-Man Unlimited and UDON's Street Fighter comic series.
