As the week goes on and the deadline to apply for the one-of-a-kind art board of Haseo and Ovan gets closer, we'll be asking character designer Hosokawa about his creation process, as well as his personal memories with the .hack series.

Q: What are some of your memories regarding Haseo and Ovan?

A: Haseo and Ovan were two of the first characters I designed when I joined CyberConnect2. I was a student before becoming a CC2 staff member, meaning these two were the first charact...ers I ever designed as a professional. I have memories of not knowing what was going on around me since I was still a newbie.
