Senior🎓
Top SchoolShota Imai is a Tokyo/Yokohama–based technical leader and founder with 11 years building communities and product-facing technical experiences for Unreal Engine and Fortnite. He rose through Epic Games from Unreal Engine community roles to senior creator and esports marketing, then moved into enterprise technical account management before founding UPHASH and co-founding Star Bash. Shota blends deep 3DCG craftsmanship—modeling, rigging, lighting and compositing—with influencer relations and program management, making him fluent between creators, engineers, and enterprise clients. He’s as comfortable teaching tools like Maya and Nuke as he is structuring creator partnerships and technical onboarding for complex interactive projects. A practical problem-solver, he often bridges creative pipelines and business strategy to accelerate adoption of real-time technologies.
