Shintaro Kanaoya
Founder, CEO
Shin is the founder and CEO of Chorus Worldwide, with overall responsibility for the company’s strategy, and a particular focus on finding great games to publish.
Shin’s career started in 1996, at UK developer Bullfrog Productions, which had recently been acquired by EA. That began a 12-year run at EA, where he performed a variety of roles in both development and publishing, in the UK and Japan. In 2008, Kanaoya joined Microsoft, and took on the role of Head of Business Strategy for Rare Ltd, a wholly-owned studio within MS. In 2011, he transferred to Vancouver, Canada. After leaving Microsoft in 2014, and seeing a need for a route to market for indie developers into the rapidly growing Asian markets, Kanaoya founded Chorus Worldwide.
An avid gamer and movie-goer/series binger, when not seated, you can find him on the slopes in Winter, or nursing a sour beer on a patio in Summer.

When not crushing production tasks, he can be found in the gym crushing sandbags and sparring partners, or in kickboxing tournaments, crushing opponents.
