Hirano Kana
Hirano Kana (平野 佳菜) is a game developer and former Natsume employee who was heavily involved in the Medarot series. Outside of Medarot, she is credited as director of the Game Boy version of Tetris Plus and as a character designer on Cleopatra Fortune.
Hirano Kana was assigned as a graphic designer on Medarot 1 but as the project only had three developers and the game director was overworked, she was allowed to take on additional responsibilities, including scenario proofreading and writing. For Medarot 2, Medarot 3 and Medarot 4, she was the main scenario writer and additionally was director for Medarot 3. Following the completion of Medarot 4, she left Natsume.
Following her departure, Kana started a personal webpage (first published under the tentative title of "The joy and sorrow of game development") where she wrote an account on the development of the Medarot games she was involved in. She eventually returned to the Medarot series writing the lyrics for the MEDAROCK songs and writing part 2, 5 and 6 of Medarot S: Unlimited Nova's story mode.
