In an interview, the creator of a recognizable game character admitted that he did not expect such a popularity of his brainchild outside of Japan. He was pleasantly surprised when he saw how Pac-Man was accepted abroad.

“There was nothing in the game that could make a strong impression. I did not think that players abroad who are looking for thrills and excitement from games would like it. That’s why I was genuinely surprised when I saw how well the game was received in The United States and Europe, “said the developer.
