At some point in development, he decided to switch from a photo-realistic graphical style to the woodblock inspired cartoon-like one. Kamiya later admitted that he found the idea 'incredibly boring'.

Three sequels followed, on the PlayStation 2, Gamecube, PSP and Nintendo DS, respectively. This has been in the timeline for some time before the studio was officially recognized. Having played a key hand in its development, the studio's first official project was a port of Viewtiful Joe to PlayStation 2. Later, the company would split into several factions, forming parts of what we now know as PlatinumGames ( Bayonetta), Tango Gameworks ( The Evil Within) and (RIP) UTV Ignition Games ( El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron). Founding members included Atsushi Inaba, Shinji Mikami and Hideki Kamiya. Members sought to give themselves greater control in order to lead on new projects, including Okami and God Hand. Comprised of ex-Capcom developers, it began life as a semi-autonomous studio operating under its parent company.
In 2004, Japanese-based Studio named Clover was born.
