Well sorta. What was once AM3 got dissolved into AM1 and AM2 in 2008, Sega's two remaining arcade teams. So the above pictured Mie Kumagai got put into AM2 with her own department there. After Virtua Tennis 4 (which was technically an AM2 game), now she is part of Sega's mobile division... where which as of now made mobile versions of Derby Owners Club, Virtua Tennis. And one other game which is this:

The above interview talks about women in the gaming industry in senior producer enviorments, with Tri-Ace. Where I find out she made this mobile game. Another interresting comment is that you can very well be involved in a game as a director while still managing a department, she mentions Yu Suzuki as an example. She first worked with Mizuguchi on Joypolis attractions. NiGHTS also seemingly made an impact in Japan, as it made the other women from tri-ace want to join Sega.

Really thinking about its not true...tbh the AM2 managers haven't been involved in mobile games. Still, lots of resources for mobile games being pulled from the arcade division.

MadeManG74:
Yeah I'm just stirring shit. And sadly, it does make sense to scale back arcades in favour of mobile games.

Sharky:
This is a pretty misleading title...
