Aliases

Because Akihito worked for TOSE, a company that held its secrecy in high regard, he was forced to use aliases in games he was lucky enough to be credited on to shroud his identity. He usually went by Switch E and variants there of, which are just plays on his surname.

Though his real name was never credited, his real name was revealed by Shigemitsu Goto.
