In Famitsu PS No.37 (20/3/98) in an interview alongside programmer Karatsuma, director Kamiya said Claire's BIO2 bonus outfit was inspired when he saw a woman in a leather jacket who rode up behind him on a Harley. He felt she was a perfect match for his image of Claire.

Nine years since its first appearance in Umbrella Corps & a year later in BIO7, most information on "Blue Umbrella" is still isolated to Japan-only airsoft pamphlets & websites.

hi #horrorfam. The first horror feature film I've edited now has an Instagram page. There is a trailer. Hopefully you'll all watch it when it comes out! It was crazy to get the opportunity to edit the film for director William Butler. #TheDarknessReturns

Thanks to an amazing joint effort by our community, we successfully won an auction for the original BIOHAZARD 2 Final Draft scriptbook. It'll receive the same dissecting we gave the Dino Crisis 2 script. Among many differences here, Claire was 20 & Leon was 25.

I often think about this when I'm alone.

This page popped in my head while I was designing these characters.

Jean Reno is game. It's in your hands now, Capcom.

This artwork's often presented as "first-person concept art" for the original BIO HAZARD due to years of repeated poor sourcing. It's only a Famitsu artist's impression of what it would've looked like for Weekly Famitsu No.460's BIO feature, not CAPCOM art.

I transferred this to a real VHS tape using my VCR then back to my computer through av capture card
