Yoshinori Ono, som för nuvarande är exekutiv producent för Street Fighter-serien, kommer inom kort lämna Capcom efter 30 år. Det berättar han själv på Twitter. Han skriver ingen anledning till avhoppet, men uttrycker tacksamhet till de han jobbat med samt alla spela och att serien kommer bli väl omhändertagen av en ny generation hos Capcom.
"I've been with the Street Fighter brand for a long time, experiencing good times, bad times, and even non-existent times. My heart is filled with appreciation to those players who've been giving warm and kind support on the brand especially little over the past decade or so as all the activities on the Street Fighter brand regained sunshine and grew its liveliness.
And now, after serving almost 30 years at Capcom, I am leaving the company this summer. This means that I will resign my position as the brand manager for Capcom's various titles including Street Fighter.
Capcom staff in the new generation will continue taking care of the Street Fighter brand and leading the World Warriors. And, I do believe that they will continue making Street Fighter extraordinary. I will look forward to seeing the new Street Fighter brand and how it's going to be expanded, as just one of regular gamers next time around."
Han avslutar sedan meddelandet med ett:

SHORYUKEN!"
