Confirmed by both Famitsu magazine and biographer Florent Gorges, game developer Yoshihisa Kishimoto has passed away at 64. Kishimoto’s bare-knuckle influence on gaming is far longer than an outstretched punch. The arcade hit Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (released in the U.S. as Renegade) not only spun into two everlasting series but defined video game beatdowns as we know them.
