Shigenori Soejima is a Japanese illustrator, graphic designer and currently an employee of Atlus' Japanese branch. He is best known for his work on both Persona 3 and Persona 4 and is responsible for the art direction of the Persona Team's games. His style is nowadays defined by the vibrant colors in his artwork that create a certain sense of lighting as well as his characters that resemble typical manga-styled figures.

Soejima follows a personal rule while designing mascots - for color palettes, he uses a "toy color" set of red, yellow and blue. This rule applies to Aigis, Teddie and Morgana.[1]

Soejima stated in an interview that although the majority of his work is done using programs like SAI and Adobe Photoshop, he prefers to sketch on paper as he can't be creative while staring at a computer screen.
