Name: Shigeru Miyamoto
DOB: November 16 1952
Home Town: Sonebe, Japan
Occupation: General Manager, Nintendo Co Ltd.
Born and raised in a rural community near his current home of Kyoto, Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto was humbled by the natural world surrounding him. Add to that the lack of a television set growing up, and you have a boy whose sense of adventure and imagination was limited only to what his own mind could produce. Lucky for us that young man grew up to use said imagination in the world of electronic games, where he would eventually create some of the most recognizable characters the world would ever know, and in doing so create some of the most revolutionary, meaningful, and profitable interactive experiences ever conceived. |
