Tecmo intenta amordazar al antiguo director de Ninja Gaiden

Following Ninja Gaiden's director, Tomonobu Itagaki, resignation, lawsuit and letter to the press, Tecmo has appealed to the Tokyo District Court seeking to restrict Itagaki from making further public remarks.

The lawsuit was filed last Tuesday, but has yet to receive a verdict.

Tecmo seeks a gag order to prohibit Itagaki from:

– Disclosing or leaking information regarding Tecmo's game software, sales, development or any other company secrets
– Using newspapers, magazines and the internet to criticize company software and company employees
– Obstructing the company's business through slanderous remarks to third parties
– Accepting interviews regarding Tecmo or talking to the press about the company
