Suikoden series
Fujimatsu had not worked on the Suikoden series before STAR LEAP.[1] As producer of Suikoden STAR LEAP, he oversees the series' transition to mobile platforms. He noted that the goal was to let more people experience Suikoden via mobile while still "carrying the soul" of the series, approaching STAR LEAP with "the mindset of creating a numbered entry."[1] Fujimatsu explained that STAR LEAPs main story would be set in Suikodens official timeline and would focus on a new set of 108 Stars, making it part of the series canon.[1] Sakiyama Takahiro, the series' established IP director, is supervising the project.[1]
