title: "Yoko Taro" content: Yoko Taro Yoko has become known for his style of game design, incorporating unconventional design choices and stories. One of the main aspects of his work is exploring the darker aspects of people, such as why they are driven to kill each other, although he typically does not share a common opinion on his story's dark natures. His writing technique, described as "backwards scriptwriting," involves outlining the ending of the story first and building the narrative backward from that point. Due to his dislike of being photographed, he generally wears a mask when giving interviews or presenting games. Yoko Taro


title: "Yoko Taro" content: was born in Nagoya, Aichi on June 6, 1970. Yoko's parents were often absent at their jobs, so he was mostly raised by his grandmother, who left a strong impression on him. During his youth, he heard about an incident that would influence his later work as a scenario writer: while an acquaintance was in a shopping street with a group of friends, one of them who was walking along a high building roof slipped and died from the fall. The scene as Yoko heard it was initially "horrifying," but included a humorous element as well. He studied at Kobe


title: "Yoko Taro" content: Design University and graduated in March 1994. He is married to Yukiko Yoko, an illustrator who worked on "Taiko no Tatsujin" series and also did work on "Drakengard 3". Initially not intending to pursue a career in video games, his first job after graduating was as a 3D CGI designer for Bandai Namco Games (then Namco Limited) a month after graduating. In 1999, he joined Sugar & Rockets Inc., a now-defunct second-party developer owned by Sony Computer Entertainment. In 2001, a year after Sugar & Rockets' consolidation by Sony, Yoko got a job at Cavia. While working at Cavia, he


title: "Yoko Taro" content: became involved in the creation of "Drakengard". While the game's co-producer Takuya Iwasaki intended to take the director's role, he was busy with other projects, so Yoko was asked to take up director's duties. He also helped create the scenario and characters, as well as co-writing the script with Sawako Natori. During its production, Yoko was unhappy with the amount of changes asked for by the game's advisory board. It got to the point where he decided he would not work on another "Drakengard". He was later involved in the production of "Drakengard 2", being credited as a video editor


title: "Yoko Taro" content: while also remaining as one of the game's creative staff. Mostly tied up with another project during production, his original concept for the game as an arcade-style game with dragons in space was vetoed and he had creative clashes with the game's new director Akira Yasui. After "Drakengard 2" was completed, Yoko started work on a third entry in the series. As the game developed, the initial concept was developed to the point where the game was rebranded as "Nier", a spin-off from the series. Despite this, Yoko continued to consider it the third entry in the series. After "Nier"


title: "Yoko Taro" content: was released and Cavia was absorbed into AQ Interactive, Yoko left the company and pursued an independent career. During this period, he took an unknown role in the development of Square Enix's social game "Monster × Dragon". The majority of his freelancer work involved social mobile games. Many years later, Yoko teamed back up with multiple staff from the production of "Drakengard" and "Nier" to create a true second sequel to "Drakengard", determining through questionnaires that the main appeal to the fanbase was the dark stories. After the completion of "Drakengard 3", Yoko "went back into unemployment". After that, he


title: "Yoko Taro" content: began writing a short-term special column for "Famitsu" titled "Taro Yoko's Circle of No Good Thinking". In 2015, Yoko announced that he had started his own company called Bukkoro, staffed by Yoko, his wife Yukiko, and Hana Kikuchi, novelist and scenario writer for "Nier" and "Drakengard 3". Yoko has stated his intense dislike of interviews. His reason, according to his "Famitsu" column, was that he feels video game developers are not entertainers or commentators on their work and that he thinks the subjects they talk about in interviews would be overly boring to those reading or listening. When he does


title: "Yoko Taro" content: give interviews, he prefers to wear a mask to avoid being photographed, and in a video interview concerning "Drakengard 3", he used a glove puppet. He has also stated that he likes to be blunt when stating his opinions, as he feels that video game fans deserve truth and honesty. Yoko is noted for creating games with a dark, disturbing or unusual atmosphere. This was stated as the main reason he was brought in to work on "Monster × Dragon". His writing method, which he has not seen in other works of fiction, is called "backwards scriptwriting". He described it


title: "Yoko Taro" content: as starting with the ending first, then working backwards from there. He then creates central plot points that form emotional peaks in the narrative, adds details, then scatters them through the narrative so the player can build a suitable emotional connection. He uses a secondary method called "photo thinking" in conjunction with his scriptwriting method. Yoko describes it as a method of visualizing and keeping in order events and emotional peaks throughout the story. He cited his inspiration for this method as "The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci" by Jonathan Spence. He is keen in experimenting with the video game


title: "Yoko Taro" content: format, feeling that many conventions of the video game market inhibit developers' creative freedom. Many of his games reflect his own feelings about death and his socratic questioning of the concept. Yoko also considers food an important tool in creating a game, stating that he thinks that types of food from across the world can help him get a feel for the people the game is being aimed at. Yoko was influenced in his style for the "Drakengard" series by many games of the day: a commonality he noted was that the player got gradings for their performance after killing


title: "Yoko Taro" content: dozens or hundreds of enemy units in a "gloating" manner. Because the concept of enjoying killing seemed insane to him, he designed the first game's main protagonists to be insane. He also wished to explore what drove people to kill each other. Later, for "Nier" and "Drakengard 3", Yoko explored the idea of a terrible event where both sides believed they were doing the right thing. For "Nier", he took direct inspiration from the September 11 attacks and the War on Terror. Another direct influence on "Nier" was of the gameplay of the "God of War" series, which both he


title: "Yoko Taro" content: and the game's producer Yosuke Saito admired. He has stated his dislike for the "plain and forgettable" type of female video game character: he demonstrated his dislike for this and the stereotypical role-playing video game romance in Furiae, an important character in "Drakengard". Another character he has been greatly involved in creating is Zero, "Drakengard 3"s protagonist: while creating her, he felt it would be interesting to create a character who was formerly a prostitute as it was a character type that was fairly rare in video games. In general, Yoko does not consider his writing to be as dark


title: "Yoko Taro" content: as others see it, while admitting that he deliberately incorporates dark elements. A notable influence on the gameplay of his titles was the classic shoot 'em up "Ikaruga"; it directly inspired the dragon flight sequences of "Drakengard" and bullet hell sections in "Nier"; and informed Yoko on the synchronization of gameplay with the music.

Nine subspecies of Eurasian hoopoe are recognised by Kristin (in the 2001 "Handbook of the Birds of the World"). They vary mostly in size and the depth of colour in the plumage. One further subspecies is suggested- "U. e. orientalis" in north western India. The Eurasian hoopoe is a medium-sized bird, long, with a wingspan. It weighs . The species is highly distinctive, with a long, thin tapering bill that is black with a

The hoopoe has broad and rounded wings capable of strong flight; these are larger in the northern migratory subspecies. The hoopoe has a characteristic undulating flight, which is like that of a giant butterfly, caused by the wings half closing at the end of each beat or short sequence of beats. Adults may begin their moult after the breeding season and continue after they have migrated for the winter. The call is typically a trisyllabic "oop-oop-oop", which may give rise to

An alternative explanation of the English and scientific names is that they are derived from the French name for the bird, "huppée", which means crested. In the Himalayas, the calls can be confused with that of the Himalayan cuckoo ("Cuculus saturatus"), although the cuckoo typically produces four notes. Other calls include rasping croaks, when alarmed, and hisses. Females produce a wheezy note during courtship feeding by the male. Both sexes, when disturbed, call a rough "charrrrrr," strongly reminiscent of the warning cry of the Eurasian jay. The


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: food begging call of the nestlings is similar to that of a common swift: "tiiii". The Eurasian hoopoe is widespread in Europe, Asia, and North Africa and northern Sub-Saharan Africa. Most European and north Asian birds migrate to the tropics in winter. In contrast, the African populations are sedentary all year. The species has been a vagrant in Alaska; "U. e. saturata" was recorded there in 1975 in the Yukon Delta. Hoopoes have been known to breed north of their European range, and in southern England during warm, dry summers that provide plenty of grasshoppers and similar insects, although as


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: of the early 1980s northern European populations were reported to be in the decline, possibly due to changes in climate. The hoopoe has two basic requirements of its habitat: bare or lightly vegetated ground on which to forage and vertical surfaces with cavities (such as trees, cliffs or even walls, nestboxes, haystacks, and abandoned burrows) in which to nest. These requirements can be provided in a wide range of ecosystems, and as a consequence the hoopoe inhabits a wide range of habitats such as heathland, wooded steppes, savannas and grasslands, as well as forest glades. Hunting is of concern in

Birds have been seen at high altitudes during migration across the Himalayas. One was recorded at about by the first Mount Everest expedition. In what was long thought to be a defensive posture, hoopoes sunbathe by spreading out their wings and tail low against the ground and tilting their head up; they often fold their wings and preen halfway through. They also enjoy taking dust and sand baths. The diet of the Eurasian hoopoe is mostly


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: composed of insects, although small reptiles, frogs and plant matter such as seeds and berries are sometimes taken as well. It is a solitary forager which typically feeds on the ground. More rarely they will feed in the air, where their strong and rounded wings make them fast and manoeuvrable, in pursuit of numerous swarming insects. More commonly their foraging style is to stride over relatively open ground and periodically pause to probe the ground with the full length of their bill. Insect larvae, pupae and mole crickets are detected by the bill and either extracted or dug out with


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: the strong feet. Hoopoes will also feed on insects on the surface, probe into piles of leaves, and even use the bill to lever large stones and flake off bark. Common diet items include crickets, locusts, beetles, earwigs, cicadas, ant lions, bugs and ants. These can range from 10 to 150 mm in length, with a preferred prey size of around 20–30 mm. Larger prey items are beaten against the ground or a preferred stone to kill them and remove indigestible body parts such as wings and legs. The hoopoe genus is monogamous, although the pair bond apparently only lasts

Chases and fights between rival males (and sometimes females) are common and can be brutal. Birds will try to stab rivals with their bills, and individuals are occasionally blinded in fights. The nest is in a hole in a tree or wall, and has a narrow entrance. It may be unlined, or various scraps may be collected. The female alone is responsible for incubating the eggs. Clutch size varies with location: Northern Hemisphere birds lay more eggs than those in the Southern Hemisphere,


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: and birds at higher latitudes have larger clutches than those closer to the equator. In central and northern Europe and Asia the clutch size is around 12, whereas it is around four in the tropics and seven in the subtropics. The eggs are round and milky blue when laid, but quickly discolour in the increasingly dirty nest. They weigh 4.5 grams. A replacement clutch is possible. Hoopoes have well-developed anti-predator defences in the nest. The uropygial gland of the incubating and brooding female is quickly modified to produce a foul-smelling liquid, and the glands of nestlings do so as well.


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: These secretions are rubbed into the plumage. The secretion, which smells like rotting meat, is thought to help deter predators, as well as deter parasites and possibly act as an antibacterial agent. The secretions stop soon before the young leave the nest. From the age of six days, nestlings can also direct streams of faeces at intruders, and will hiss at them in a snake-like fashion. The young also strike with their bill or with one wing. The incubation period for the species is between 15 and 18 days, during which time the male feeds the female. Incubation begins as


title: "Eurasian hoopoe" content: soon as the first egg is laid, so the chicks are born asynchronously. The chicks hatch with a covering of downy feathers. By around day three to five, feather quills emerge which will become the adult feathers. The chicks are brooded by the female for between 9 and 14 days. The female later joins the male in the task of bringing food. The young fledge in 26 to 29 days and remain with the parents for about a week more. Hoopoes show hatching asynchrony of eggs which is thought to allow for brood reduction when food availability is low. The

A hoopoe was a leader of the birds in the Persian book of poems "The Conference of the Birds" ("Mantiq al-Tayr" by Attar) and when the birds seek a king, the hoopoe points out that the Simurgh was the king of the birds.

The bird's crest indicates his royal status, and his long, sharp beak is a symbol of his violent nature. English translators and poets probably had the northern lapwing in mind, considering its crest.
