This artist collaborated with GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE on a number of games released between 2005 and 2013. After responding to an advertisement seeking freelance work, Sasaki was hired to produce graphics for killer7. He also designed a replacement logo for the studio with Tadayuki Nomaru which has been used in almost all branding since NO MORE HEROES 2: DESPERATE STRUGGLE.
Other titles Sasaki assisted with include BLOOD+ ONE NIGHT KISS, NO MORE HEROES, FROG MINUTES, Shadows of the DAMNED, and KILLER IS DEAD. He also publishes artwork from canceled or tonally early versions of some GRASSHOPPER games on social media, even continuing some of these pieces to this day. Aside from games, Sasaki also designed many brochures for GRASSHOPPER as well as the website it used in the years between killer7 and NO MORE HEROES. Some of his thoughts were printed in Hand in killer7, while many more are regularly shared on X.
Sasaki’s art blends a revolving door of materials including pastels, pencils, watercolours, markers, computer-generated images, photography, and generative AI.
