Clearing Up Sonic Info: SHIRO MAEKAWA
As we know, Shiro Maekawa was a Writer, Game Designer, and Storyboarder for Sonic Games in the 2000's. However, many seem to no know just WHAT he wrote. So I shall provide a list.
Now, I have some notes to provide about the situations for 3 of these games (half.)
In Sonic 06, he was only a script writer. Dialouge only. Story was done by Kiyoko Yoshimura. Who wrote for Sonic X and would later go on to be the writer for Unleashed (Sonic World Adventure)
In Secret Rings, Maekawa was scenario Writer BUT the story editor and director "Yojiro Ogawa" rewrote 50% Of it. Thus, Ogawa is also the writer for secret rings. Not just Maekawa
In Riders Zero Gravity, He was only the story plotter (basically an organizer before the main scenario Writer starts writing) with the Main Scenario Writer being Masahiko Shiraishi (also from Sonic X). With help from "Hiroshi Miyamoto", The Writer from the original Sonic Riders, as Story Plotter with Mr. Maekawa. Triple Threat
There's rumors that he was also plotter on the Original Writers (with Miyamoto as Scenario Writer) including Windii saying he DM'd someone saying it but it hasn't been proven. Only the Scenario Writer (Miyamoto) was credited in the credits but Maekawa also went uncredited in the Storybook Games, but those Excluded all writers. Riders still credits a scenario writer. So it's UNCONFIRMED
Despite what many say, Shiro Maekawa didn't write for Sonic X. He was just a supervisor and occasionally gave ideas. Mainly during The Materex Saga (Season 3).
