Makoto Shimooka (下岡 誠) is a programmer. He started out at Sega Rosso in 2001, joining them over his love of cars and their racing games. Following their absorption by Hitmaker he eventually moved to AM Plus, where he programmed Sega Race TV. Sometime after its 2008 disbandment he became a part of Sega R&D1, with patents suggesting he contributed to several of its medal games and Hero Bank Arcade. He later programmed Initial D Arcade Stage Zero (for which he holds a patent of its teams mechanic) and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition at Sega Interactive R&D1, returning to racers on Sonic Racing CrossWorlds as part of Sega 2nd Development Division.
