Tetsuya Mizuguchi was born in 1965 in the city of Sapporo in Hokkaido, Japan.
He worked for SEGA from 1990-2003 and was the man behind such hits as the Sega Rally series, Space Channel 5 and REZ. His last position was Chief Creative Officer of United Game Artists.
On September of 2003, SEGA performed an internal restructuring of its staff. Among these changes was the dissolution of United Game Artists and the transfer of its members into Sonic Team. The following month, Mizuguchi announced that he would leave SEGA on October 10, 2003. He also announced that he would freelance for the video game industry through an at the time unnamed company.
He has since founded Q entertainment (http://www.q-ent.jp) and produced two puzzle games for next generation portable systems: Meteos for the Nintendo DS and Lumines for the Sony PSP. While both games are available in Japan, only Lumines has been released in North America thus far, on March 24, 2005, but Meteos is slated for a US release, and both games are slated to be released in Europe.
Mizuguchi states that his next game will be something new for him, not a racing, music, or puzzle game.
