Satoshi Tajiri Contemporary Artist Project
Satoshi Tajiri was born on august 18th 1965 in Tokyo Japan. His father was a Nissan car salesman in his home town of Machida. His name is known by few, yet most people in my generation have bought his products and watched his show without knowing who the man behind the idea was.
As a young boy who lived in the rural town of Machida, Satoshi grew to love manga, anime, fantasy series, arcade games, but mostly bugs. He would go outside for hours on end and collect insects to learn their anatomy. His friends gave him the nickname “Mr. Bug”. This would inspire him in works as an adult.

One fond memory of mine was on a road trip to Traverse City when I first beat the game. I was super excited and jumping round, and my whole family was just at a loss why I was going crazy in the back of our van. I’m pretty sure most people my age all remember the huge Pokemon invasion in the late 1990s. Thinking now, I probably almost bankrupted my parents with all the toys and games that I just had to have. Sometimes flipping through the channels on TV, I’ll catch a few minutes of my old favorite cartoon which has changed so much in recent years with the addition of what seems like a million new creatures. It’s easy to see why I would choose an artist who had so much influence on my childhood. Satoshi Tajiri was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome as a child. Asperger’s syndrome is a form of autism in which is characterized by the great focus in one thing (like Satoshi’s love of insects and video games) but causes other things to be neglected (like his school work). This form of autism causes social problems which is why he is not as famous as other game designers. Repetition of certain things like in obsessive compulsive disorder is also common with Aspergers. Tajiri prefers to work for 24 hours straight rather than normal 8 hour shifts. All in all, I feel that more people should know who created and what inspired such a great game and show. So next
