Graduated from Musashino Art University. Worked as a designer at a game company, KAZe Net co.,Ltd., while I was still in school. After graduation, I had worked for several companies before joining SEGA Corporation in 1996.
Participated in the product development of many titles so far.
My representative works include "Sonic Adventure" and "Samba de Amigo" series. “Samba…" was nominated for the sound game category of the 4th Japan Game Awards.
In addition to working as a game designer, I also drew official illustrations for "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Samba de Amigo", illustrated and designed the game's soundtrack jackets, and designed and supervised the production of merchandise.
When Sonic is first represented in a three-dimensional game, I was known in the English-speaking countries as Satoshi Okano, and in China as 聪岗野, as the person who was influential in defining the design.
In 2006, I started working as a freelance to work on characters by myself instead of a large group.
In 2011, I established Studio Okanotion Co., Ltd.
The name of the company was coined from the English word “Okano's Concept”. My pen name is OKN, which was my intranet screen name when I was working.
Now working in character design and ’art'.
Taking many roles as an art director, illustrator, character designer, planner, animation director, animator, graphic designer, concept artist, and so on.
