In today’s episode, we spend a day with SUDA51, a world renowned video game creator famous for No More Heroes, killer7 or Lollipop Chainsaw, games produced by his studio, Grasshopper Manufacture.
Our first stop is the Jingu Batting Dome, a batting center located in the heart of Tokyo, that SUDA51 visits from time to time. The batting center setting is featured in The Silver Case, SUDA51’s first game with Grasshopper Manufacture, where it is used as a secret meeting place between two detectives.
We will then visit Grasshopper Manufacture, SUDA51’s workplace where he will tell us more about his work, and the philosophy behind his studio.
For a brief lunch break, we will head to Megumi-ya, a close-by soba noodles restaurant. Megumi-ya, compared to other traditional noodles restaurants, is themed around the rock universe and plays rock music - which is quite unusual for this type of restaurant.
Later in the afternoon, SUDA51 will take a few of his colleagues for drinks to Kawakami, a restaurant nearby, where Kazuki Morishita, president of the Gung Ho group, who acquired Grasshopper Manufacture, is a regular.
Our night will end in Shinjuku Golden-Gai, famous for its narrow streets and bars, we will head to the bar plastic model (bpm), where SUDA51 is a regular. The bpm was featured in No More Heroes, and its bartender, Mr. Sekine often plays music from the game, among other of his records from the eighties.

Gochi Suda is my biological father. Please tell him his family misses him.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Well noted. We'll make sure to pass the message.

[@boa9557]

wow

[@pieceofshit84]

? For real?

[@lambchops1]

5:13 of course he has a charles bronson dvd-box, the absolute madman!

[@gigamear]

It's incredible that something being created in such a foreign place is effecting people like myself in the US.

[@DavMCycle]

I admire Suda 51 work ethic and game design, killer 7, No more heroes, Shadows of the damned, are some of my favorite games and I’m so excited to play No more heroes 3, and he seem to be a chill and cool guy, also I want to buy that book, be safe Suda 51 and staff, good luck.

[@rushnerd]

SUDA is awesome, glad they did this after SWERY

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Hope you'll enjoy what's coming next too!

[@gizelbelcoot]

+toco toco tv There is huge following for Akira Yamaoka, i think fans will love that too, not to mention he is easy to talk to

[@Mrkeneryt]

I like the LET IT DIE shirt he was wearing when playing baseball

[@TMTLive]

Wow, what a surprise. SUDA51 is one of my favorite developers. Thanks for this. Also, I really liked the different style of filming and editing.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Glad you liked it!

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Such a nice video. It's awesome how he named his company is Grasshopper Manufacture. Also interesting were his ideas of player involvement. Loved it.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you!

[@ASwagPecan]

Forever grateful for Suda. His games have given me plenty hours of joy, he’s introduced me to phenomenal music and films, and he’s shown me that you can enjoy your job and do what you want regardless of background. All while staying humble.

[@anthonyandthemachine]

This was such a beautiful video. I really wish it had lasted longer. I'm just glad something like this exists. I love Shadows of the Damned so freaking much. I just think that game fits my style perfectly. All of Grasshopper Manufactures games do.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

If you like Shadows of the Damned, make sure to check out our giveaway on Twitter! twitter.com/tocotocotv

[@anthonyandthemachine]

+toco toco tv Oh yessssssssss!!! I definitely had to enter for a chance to win that! I didn't even know that artbook existed.

[@Lewdology]

This was way more somber than I had expected. Really interesting.

[@notanotherreviewer.]

Daisuke next? Holy shit, where do you get all these great guests???

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Stay tuned!

[@raven122199]

Excellent interview and great presentation! I love Suda's work. You can really see from this video where his daily life influences the way he creates games.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you - hope you'll enjoy what's coming next too.

[@K4zuo3]

Batting center.. I think I'll give a try when I arrive at Japan.

[@SM-xu5ls]

シルバー事件は本当に素晴らしかった。「ムーンライトシンドローム」と「花と太陽と雨と」と「Killer7」までをやりました。特にシルバーとムーンライトは刺激的で記憶に残っております。シルバー事件は今までプレイしたADVの中でも5本の指に入る傑作だと思いますね👍

[@rojiraan8042]

I love the new logo animation and more globally the new stylish direction. Really cool to see the expansion of Toco Toco as I'm watching it since the first episode broadcasted on Nolife. Awesome ! Congrats ! 👌

[@lightspaceman5064]

Looking back at this I get the impression that Suda is a little annoyed at being the "No More Heroes guy". Which would explain some things.

[@rzLl_pz5]

He's a bit too ahead of his time. No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw are really intelligent games on their own right, but to me his real peak is in his early, overtly philosophical and oddball games

[@cyyclos4105]

can you pls explain the things?

[@kylin3197]

this guy is too cool

[@zerudazansouki3514]

I was beginning to get worried since it had been a while since the last episode, so I was very excited to see a new episode in my subscription box this morning. I love the updates and renovations you made to the show, it turned out real nice!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

We're back now, don't worry! Thanks for the kind word!

[@auburnkit]

Hey guys! loving the art direction you've taken. Not that what you guys had before wasn't great, but this look is very clean. Excited to see more videos!

[@orateusdijin6557]

I like this thank y'all for the vid!

Thanks!

[@Snip3rfall]

Very insightful and beautiful piece

[@Angels-3xist]

Recognized those batting cages immediately. He's got a very good sense of humor and a great devolver shirt. What more could you want. Entertaining to watch but the guy is as mysterious as ever. Seems a pattern with successful creators. Suppose there's no other way to be that comes across in anything but your work, but that's where this guy is really interesting: when he's talking about his work.

[@droojalmaktab]

Awesome documentary, thanks.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you.

[@JayDee284]

Man Suda is a lot more laidback & Down to Earth they I thought he be.

[@qishmish]

Thanks for this, very touching. Hope you could find Haruhiko Shono 庄野 晴彦 too one day or even Osamu Sato (until he moved to alien mothership).

[@pablobarrios7681]

he has a devolver digital t shirt! good to see that great developers support the indie scene aswell

[@ErebosSan]

Vraiment bien cette nouvelle version de Toco Toco. Bon le "Bonjour et bienvenue dans Toco Toco..." avec le plan de train/station me manquera, mais il faut évoluer !

You can clearly see Suda51 is a real lefty with the way he handles the baseball bat and mouse. I wonder if he plays the guitar lefthanded as well.

Grasshopper hasn't made a good game in many years. I do hold out hope that SUDA51 will one day be able to make another masterpiece however.
