Sakai served as producer and quality checker for all visual novels produced by minori (ef - a fairy tale of the two., eden*) He has also directed several minori titles.
Hamashima is a concept artist, illustrator, and graphic designer for visual novels aimed at both men and women. She has worked on Eroge!, No, Thank You!!!, and euphoria, among others.
