According to a recent interview by RPGSite.net, YoshiP hinted at a mysteriously new Scenario Director already in their midst. Here is Yoshi's quote:

"In addition, we have introduced a talented new Scenario Director, but you’ll have to wait a little longer for more information regarding him at the moment. Him!? I’ve already said too much…" Source

As soon as I read that, for some reason Tanaka popped into my head. Why else would they have to hide a new hire in this way? Unless this new guy is famous for some other well-known SE title or franchise. I'm aware that Tanaka stuck around after his stepping down to be a consultant of sorts to Yoshi, but could Tanaka have officially made a return as Scenario Director for 2.0? What do you guys think?
