After graduating from Keio University Asano first joined Enix in 2001, before gaining a more prominent role within the company after its merger.

After producing Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, Asano and several members on his team went on to create a spiritual successor in Bravely Default.[1] In 2017 Asano was made head of his own business division in Square Enix, focusing work on the Bravely series and titles such as Octopath Traveler.[2][3] The business division was later consolidated into Square Enix Creative Business Unit II following a restructure.[4] However, within Creative Business Unit II Asano and his team are known as Team Asano as they continue working on games similar to their previous creations.[5]
