Animal Crossing creator Katsuya Eguchi has spoken about how his inspiration for the series came from a lonely point in his life when he moved over 300 miles from his home, Chiba, to work at Nintendo's Kyoto HQ. In an Edge Magazine Interview, Eguchi spoke of using this emotion to influence the original Animal Crossing.
"Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realized that being close to them "being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them" was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing."
