Whether you’re a fan of the Netflix animated show or the classic games franchise, the Castlevania series wouldn’t be what it is today without Ayami Kojima.
A self-taught artist, talented designer, and avid shounen-manga fan, Ayami brought beloved characters like Alucard, Soma Cruz, and Simon Belmont to life with her amazing artistic talents.
Her work on Castlevania-inspired Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a perfect homage to the series, while remaining its own unique entry in the Metroidvania genre.
