Kouhei Maeda (Japanese: 前田 耕平 Maeda Kōhei), also spelled Kohei Maeda, is an employee of Intelligent Systems who joined the company in 2001.[1] He has worked on the Fire Emblem series since Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, working as a scenario writer, and had worked in that role in every game from then up to and including Awakening. He was the main series director from New Mystery of the Emblem to Fates, and also serves as a director and as a scenario writer for Fire Emblem Heroes.
After the failure of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn in Japan, Maeda had desired to become the series director during a period of a lack of direction for the series. He came up with the idea for marriage as a way to increase the series' appeal,[2] and this would be added to Fire Emblem Awakening. According to Maeda, he wanted to have a greater role in game development so that more people would purchase and play the games.[3]
