Looks like Rit's actually had its origins in Artec (the development subsidiary of Random House). Their three PC98 releases -- Digan no Maseki (1988), Dark Wraith (1989), and Barbatus no Majo (1990) -- all credit Suzuki/Kajiyama and a whole bunch of other Rit's staff. Looks like Artec closed around 1990-91 and a sizable group formed Rit's, with a few other people evidently joining Sonic (which would explain why they worked together so often). --Dimitri (talk) 06:24, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Dragon Master Silk is apparently based off an MSX2 game called Ryuu Shoukan Musume (龍召喚娘) by a doujin circle called MJ-2 Soft. Did they become Rit's? The timeframe seems right (1991-1992). [2] CRV (talk) 15:59, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
From Kajiyama's comments in "Half Quarter Book One" about Shining Force Gaiden:
- "When I was working on this, I hadn't really done any professional work as "Kajiyama", and hadn't published anything in this style before. I think Sonic was originally asking for "my usual realistic style" when this job started. (I'd previously done realistic illustration work under another name.) They seemed really impressed when I showed them the first roughs and said "I can draw like this, too..."
There's also some unused concept sketches for Shining Force in here, plus a few sketches for games that never got past the concept stage. Unfortunately he doesn't drop any titles... --Dimitri (talk) 04:29, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
