Shigesato Itoi on an Iron Chef panel

Shigesato Itoi is probably best known over here as the designer of Earthbound, one of my favorite games. I really don't know as much about him as I'd like to... I sometimes check out his website, but I don't have enough patience (or time at work) to read through the Japanese. A while ago I bought "Yume de aimashou," a collection of short stories by Itoi and Haruki Murakami, but only got through the introduction. If I ever start studying Japanese again, I'll probably use that book as my first project.
