"Did you know that Koji Igarashi, one of the creators of Symphony of the Night and seeming mastermind behind the series' rebirth, had no involvement, no influence, or hardly any knowledge of any of the games that came before Rondo of Blood? Or that maybe the creation of Super Castlevania 4 was handled by a small group of developers whose resources would later be gathered and parlayed into the company known as 'Treasure'? Did you ever wonder whom worked on these games and how control of the trademark switched from team to team of the different divisions of Konami? This list of credits will help you to locate which people worked on which game, when they left, if they came back, and when they changed teams."
