\nYuji Naka, known as the father of Sonic the Hedgehog, has reportedly been arrested in Japan on suspicion of insider trading.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe news was reported this morning by Japanese newspaper Mainichi<\/a>, and comes a day after two other men were reported to have been charged with insider trading connected to Final Fantasy publisher Square Enix<\/a>. Naka, you may recall, worked with the company for a brief stint, creating platformer Balan Wonderworld.\n<\/p>\n

\nNaka, 57, is accused of purchasing shares worth 2.8m yen (around \u00a316.8k) in Aiming, a Japanese developer which Square Enix partnered with to make a Dragon Quest mobile game, before the company’s involvement was public knowledge.\n<\/p>\n
