Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada Appearing in Rev Major 2019

Mr Tekken himself, Katsuhiro Harada has been announced as a major guest for Rev Major 2019.

You can check out the actual post by Rev Major 2019 below:

Katsuhiro Harada was born in Osaka, Japan in the Nara Prefecture region. During his childhood, video games were viewed with a great deal of suspicion in Japan. His parents would not buy him a home console, and as a result often sneaked into arcade centres, where he would occasionally be discovered and dragged out. He worked hard and ended up securing a place at Waseda University. He has studied judo, karate and a little bit of taekwondo in the past. He attended Waseda University along with Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki and holds a degree in psychology. During his university studies, he took a few Chinese language courses, albeit finding it very difficult. After graduating from university, he joined Namco to become a promoter. His parents were initially unhappy with his pursuit in a career with the video game industry, but have since accepted him in his career.

He voiced Forest Law in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament, Marshall Law from Tekken until Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Yoshimitsu from Tekken until Tekken Tag Tournament and Kunimitsu in Tekken. Known for his sense of humor, such as comical friendship and rivalry with Street Fighter director, Yoshinori Ono, and jokes around about the character Leo in Tekken 6 because of the ambiguous gender. Harada is also a member of Project Soul (the team behind Namco’s Soulcalibur franchise). He makes an appearance in Soulcalibur V as a bonus character.

By 2019, Harada had been promoted to lead the fighting game esports division of Bandai Namco, as well as to being a general manager at the company overall.[7][8]
