Senior🎓
Top SchoolMasayoshi Nakamura is a founder and CEO with 10+ years turning academic artificial life research into commercial entertainment and art products. He built Attructure and shipped ANLIFE, a motion-learning life evolution simulator that taught block-based creatures to swim, walk, and fly using a proprietary ML algorithm, earning Steam success, TGS recognition, and awards at international showcases. His work bridges deep reinforcement learning, creative AI, and real-time motion systems—having co-developed AI for Bandai Namco projects and contributed motion-learning tech to museum installations and SIGGRAPH. Earlier roles at Preferred Networks, Dwango, and Nifty grounded him in large-scale product development, data analytics, and R&D, while a Master’s from NAIST anchors his technical depth. Notably, his long-running project once drew public attention from Hayao Miyazaki, shaping its direction from demo to polished commercial product. He combines hands-on research, game and app releases, and festival-curated art to make AI-driven life both playable and visually compelling.
