Aliases

Because Takeshi worked for TOSE, a company that didn't believe in giving credit to their development team, he was forced to use aliases the few times he was credited.

He was usually credited as CMS Takeshi. It is unknown what the CMS stands for.

He was also credited as 1CH. This alias is a bit complex behind its etymology; Ichi is the Japanese word for "One", but some Japanese accents omit the last "i" from its pronunciation, and the alias is also supposed to look like this pronunciation (Ich).

In the Japanese version of Super Goal! Two, he is credited as Uno. As stated above, "Ichi" is the Japanese pronunciation of the number one, while Uno is the Spanish translation of the number one.
