Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada appeared at Combo Breaker 2023. When he did, he also ended up showing his artistic skills. He drew a number of different characters, both from Tekken and other titles, then shared them online. For example, people could see “Unlucky” Chloe, Street Fighter’s Chun-Li, and KOF’s Mai Shiranui. After he did, he reminded people that he developed these skills due to starting as “a game planner and game designer.”
First, here’s the picture of Chloe he drew:
Do you know what happened yesterday? Yes, the "Unlucky Chloe (Just a concept doesn't make it happen)” Trailer has leaked. It was a very unlucky day.
BTW, one of the "unlucky" TEKKEN fans who came to the Combo Breaker venue might get this original picture…I drew this 5 mins ago. pic.twitter.com/LQXPMaoAKX— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) May 28, 2023
Next, here’s what Katsuhiro Harada’s sketch of Chun-Li looked like:
Ok Smiling Chun-Li
I just drew this because I lost my job at Combo-Breaker. https://t.co/XHePwZUzpX pic.twitter.com/2x7QXTRMDq

After that, Harada drew a picture of Mai Shiranui after a Twitter follower requested it.
Mai Shiranui?
Well then, I've never drawn one, but I'll draw one for you…By the way, I think Mai needs a band-aid, don't you think so?It's time to check out of the hotel.
Combo Breaker was fun!
Thank you and see you soon.#ComboBreaker2023 https://t.co/4nPE37yBAT pic.twitter.com/e3JfguOon7— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) May 29, 2023
Once all the images were shared, he explained about his artistic capabilities.
I'm not an artist, but people forget that I'm originally a game planner and game designer. I sometimes draw rough sketches of characters during the game planning stage. https://t.co/zI3TVsqdgD

Harada appeared at Combo Breaker 2023 for more reasons than to show off artistic skills. A new Tekken 8 reveal happened at Combo Breaker 2023. Bryan Fury will return for the game.
Tekken 8 is in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.
