Jose Dorvil was born on June 21st, 1983 and is the current CEO of a newly formed company called the Genki-Oki Studios, a company that focuses on digital media, film media, and printed media. He is responsible for the creation and design of the projects under the studio, and one of his earlier creations has been released for the Apple Iphone, called Plus Sign, a very difficult mathematical puzzle game that resembles games like sudoku.

Jose Dorvil studied Graphic Design in the United States and in the Dominican Republic, and since then began to form the studios with his fellow colleges. Before forming his own company, he worked for Blue Knight Greetings, a greeting card company in New York, and then worked for WebMD as a Web Designer II.

He gained a great passion for games since his childhood. In 1989, he was the only one in his neighborhood to receive a Nintendo (NES) from his parents, and was heavily influenced by the games he played, thus forming his future career preference. He then moved to the United States, where he was more influenced by other more advanced consoles such as the Super Nintendo (SNES) and the Sega Genesis, from which he became a fan of Sega's original mascot, Sonic The Hedgehog. In 1997, he became a student in the New York School of Art and Design, from which he learned how to harness his drawing abilities. He was enchanted by the rising popularity of the art form of "Anime", and his illustrations were greatly influenced by it.

After graduating from college, he was able to contact his fellow colleges and formed the company Genki-Oki Studios. His first successful released product is Plus Sign, and has yet to release a “Shoot Them Up” game called Trigger. He is continuing to work for the studios as the CEO and is currently working on Trigger, which will be released for the Apple Ipad in the second quarter of 2010.
