**Tomoya Asano** (浅野 智也, born 24 December 1978) is a Japanese game producer working for [Square Enix](/source/Square_Enix) as Studio Head on Creative Studio 4.

After graduating from [Keio University](/source/Keio_University) Asano first joined [Enix](/source/Enix) in 2001, before gaining a more prominent role within the company after its merger. He started off working on several titles before producing a few titles in the *[Final Fantasy](/source/Final_Fantasy)* series. After producing *[Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light](/source/Final_Fantasy:_The_4_Heroes_of_Light)*, Asano and several members on his team went on to create a spiritual successor in *[Bravely Default](/source/Bravely_Default)*.[1]

In 2017 Asano was made head of his own business division in Square Enix, called Business Division 11 and focusing work on the *Bravely* series and new titles such as *[Octopath Traveler](/source/Octopath_Traveler)*.[2][3] The business division was later consolidated in 2019, following a restructure in the divisions of the company, with Business Division 6, 7 and 11 merging to create Creative Business Unit II.[4] However, within Creative Business Unit II Asano and his team are known as Team Asano as they continue working on games similar to their previous creations.[5]

In 2024 Asano was promoted as Studio Head in Creative Studio 4 and as an Executive Officer in the company.[6][7]
