 After Naughty Dog presented Crash Bandicoot to Sony 's Japanese division , the executives of Sony Computer Entertainment Japan stated their dislike of the character and were unimpressed by the renderings of the character made specifically for the meeting . During a break following the initial meeting , Andy Gavin approached Charlotte Francis , the artist responsible for the renderings , and gave her fifteen minutes to close Crash 's huge , smiling mouth to make him seem less aggressive , change his eyes from green to " two small black " Pac @-@ Man " shapes " and make his spike of hair smaller . Sony Japan bought Crash Bandicoot for Japanese distribution after being shown the modified printout .
