Hoshino's first gig with Sonic Team was as the character designer for Sonic CD, in which he introduced such fan favorites as Amy Rose and the ever-badass Metal Sonic. He was also one of the main character designers in NiGHTS into Dreams, and since Sonic Adventure has been the series' art director. He hangs out with Takashi Iizuka at Sonic Team USA, where the two continue to play the most pivotal roles in determing the direction of the series.
