Background
Nakamura interacts with fans on her Twitter page, providing insight into her creative process and revealing paracanon information about the characters she's designed.
Nakamura herself gained a small fandom after her memorable E3 2019 presentation for GhostWire: Tokyo, with some fans and news outlets going as far as to label her the "Queen of E3 2019".[1] According to Know Your Meme:
On June 9th, 2019, Nakamura introduced GhostWire: Tokyo, an upcoming game from Tango Gameworks. Her presentation struck viewers as genuine and adorable, and her presentation quickly became a favorite moment for many watching E3 that day.
After her presentation, social media users professed strong feelings towards Nakamura. Several said they would "die" for her. [...]
Fan art of Nakamura also followed the presentation.
Later on Twitter, a fan named Lana expressed her desire to own the same style of jacket worn by Nakamura at E3. Nakamura responded by gifting said jacket to Lana.[2][3][4][5]
While answering fan questions during an interview with IGN Japan, Nakamura announced her intention to pitch a new Ōkami game—the first news of continuing the series in a decade, generating much excitement among fans.[6]
