A former Tecmo employee has filed 10 million Yen sexual harassment suit against Team Ninja leader and Dead or Alive developer Tomonobu Itagaki. The 31 year old woman, who quit the company on September 8th of this year, sued the 39 year old Itagaki on the September 10th this year. She and Itagaki had an affair in September 2003 and the married Itagaki claims that it was all consensual.

　Itagaki at inside of car of car, “is your marriage red sandal wood, “” with it speaks, we you is favorite what”, that it is good, when you cling, holding down the jaw of the former employee with the right hand, you took the lip coercively, “inserted to tongue in the mouth it is”, that you say. Itagaki is the marriage person who the child is.

　But former employee who also the chest and the waist etc is touched, when Itagaki of the capability person can be upset, that how it will do, you are perplexed, also the body is less crowded with fear, but it is, somehow “it is useless. That please” stop, you say that it resisted, detached the body.

Itagaki was recently demoted from Executive Officer to Managing Executive Officer but it’s unknown if that demotion has anything to do with the sexual harassment case. This was all reported by a Japanese site called ZakZak (Google Translation here). Let’s hope that this lawsuit doesn’t affect the development of Ninja Gaiden 2.

Itagaki’s next game to be released is Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 which is slated for November 21st in the US and December 8th in Europe. There’s also an awful Dead or Alive movie film coming out in cinemas sometime in December.
