No reliable sources establishing notability. Having searches 50 pages of google, I cannot find a single thing about him other than the games he has worked on. He appears to have no individual encyclopedic notability. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 01:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - When googling his name and "final fantasy" in Japanese, there appears to be a ton of information relating to him. I would call this a borderline notoriety case. Someone fluent in Japanese would need to review the websites referring to him, parse out the relevant materials and update the page. Even then, I suspect this a borderline case.

Delete - I did that same google search, but there was nothing on any non-wiki page in the first five pages of results that said anything more than "Ryoma Ito did the illustrations for this" or "Character design by Ryoma Ito"- nothing, in other words, beyond what you would find in the credits at the end of a game. --Pres N 00:23, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from his character design works. Axem Titanium (talk) 06:14, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In the absence of third-party sourcing or in-depth coverage, sufficient notability has not been demonstrated. --DAJF (talk) 01:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
