Can't say I'm surprised about this: 'Iga' is leaving Konami after spending his entire career there.

He was the team lead on all Castlevania games from Symphony of the Night up to Order of Ecclesia, with a few notable exceptions, after which Konami decided to hand over control of the franchise to another group. It's no secret that I don't like the current direction of the series and completely gave up on it, so I'm entirely fine with his departure from the company and wish him the best.

I wouldn't mind if he started a Vampire No. 9, or something along those lines...
