The Making of Diana: A Special Team’s Dedication
Diana, the android girl from Pragmata, captured the hearts of many with her endearing charm. But did you know that she was brought to life by a special team at Capcom? Producer Naoto Oyama shared this insight during a recent Father’s Day-themed livestream on YouTube.
During the stream, Oyama revealed that the team dedicated to Diana’s development was comprised entirely of women. He explained that women have a unique ability to detect a certain kind of “cunning” cuteness in female characters, which was crucial for bringing Diana to life.
Japanese voice actor Nao Toyama, who voices Diana, shared that she was instructed to speak like a child naturally would, without making her character overly cute. However, it seems that Diana’s irresistible charm has led to an outpouring of memes and discussions online.
Despite the challenges of creating a realistic child character, Capcom succeeded in making Diana relatable and lovable. The success of Pragmata has taught Capcom valuable lessons about the importance of developing new IPs, which they plan to continue pursuing.
