who made castlevania

The original Castlevania game was created at Konami and directed by Japanese game designer Hitoshi Akamatsu , who led the team that developed the 1986 Famicom Disk System title Akumajō Dracula (Castlevania).

Akamatsu served as the head director of the creation team behind the first Castlevania and its early sequels Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse for the NES, shaping the core design, horror‑movie homage style, and overall concept of the series. While later producer Koji Igarashi became strongly associated with the franchise from Symphony of the Night onward, fan and developer retrospectives now consistently credit Akamatsu as the key creative mind who originally made Castlevania.
