What is Team Shikamaru?
N-Sider: Team Shikamaru was a codename thought up by Yoshio Sakamoto, Hitoshi Yamagami, and Toru Osawa who all worked for the R&D1 department. Team Shikamaru became an inner group inside R&D1 who basically wrote scripts and developed scenarios for R&D1. The group has written scripts for Metroid 2, Metroid 3, Detective Club, Detective Club 2, Three Persons of the Galaxy, Card Hero, and the loosely translated A Bell Sounds Frog. One of the founding fathers Toru Osawa actually left R&D1 to work with the EAD group where he got to write the script for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
