Na-Ga is a male Japanese artist who is employed as a graphic designer and illustrator for the company Key known for such famous visual novels as Kanon, Air, and Clannad among others. Na-Ga has been working for Key since the production of Air as one of the computer graphic artists,[1] but was able to majorly contribute to character design in Key's sixth visual novel Little Busters! with Itaru Hinoue, along with the later released Little Busters! Ecstasy. Na-Ga returned as the sole art director and character designer in Key's eighth game Kud Wafter, a spin-off of Little Busters! Ecstasy. For Key's ninth title Rewrite, Na-Ga has been credited as only contributing to the game's computer graphics scenes.[2] Na-Ga worked in collaboration with Jun Maeda and ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine to produce the mixed media project Angel Beats! as the original character designer. Na-Ga once worked for the company Pearlsoft R between 1997 and 1999 where he contributed to two visual novels, Hakanai Omoi: Anemone, and Sweet Days, as the main artist before coming to Key.[3] He also participates in a dōjinshi circle named "from-D".
