If you've heard of Daigo Ikeno, you probably don't need a lot of explanation for what he's done. For those who haven't, he's been one of Capcom's staple artists in recent years (check out his art from previous games scattered throughout this story), and has now turned his attention to Street Fighter IV. As part of our four weeks of Street Fighter IV coverage, we sent Ikeno a series of questions via email. Here's what he had to say.

1UP: Please start by introducing yourself, and give us a little info. as to what you do at Capcom.

Daigo Ikeno: After entering Capcom, I was able to create artwork for the Street Fighter series as well as working on art and character design in series like Darkstalkers and Devil May Cry. I was the guy in charge of visuals on Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. This time around, with Street Fighter IV, I'm acting as character designer as well as art director, supervising the model creation process.
