Itsuno was hired by Capcom in 1994 and had his first work as a director Star Gladiator and Rival schools: united by fate. He would go on to direct Stone of Power, Power stone 2, Project Justice, Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower, One Piece Mansion, Capcom vs SNK 2: The Millennium Mark 2001, Automodelist, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Devil May Cry 4, Dogma of the Dragon, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, Devil May Cry 5, Devil May Cry 5: Special Editionand Dogma of the Dragon II.

Here is Itsuno's full message about his departure:

I have an announcement for all my followers.

At the end of August 2024, I will be leaving Capcom after 30 years and five months. Thank you for your long-term support of the games and characters I am responsible for. I hope you will continue to support Capcom's games and characters. I will start developing a new game in a new environment from September. I hope to create fun, beautiful games as memorable as the ones I've created so far, if not more.

Stay tuned for my next creation!

– Hideaki Itsuno
