Shigeru Miyamoto

Shigeru Miyamoto (Japanese: 宮本 茂 Hepburn: Miyamoto Shigeru, born November 16, 1952) is a Japanese video game designer and producer, currently serving as the co-Representative Director of Nintendo. He is best known as the creator of some of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling video games and franchises of all time, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, F-Zero, Donkey Kong and Pikmin.

Later he was credited as film director, writer and creator of Nintendo Cinematic Multiverse as his very first computer-animated 2020 fantasy adventure film Super Mario Bros. along with Colin Lloyd Pendergast, the CEO of Colin Entertainment, Ltd.

Early life
Miyamoto was born in the Japanese town of Sonobe, a rural town northwest of Kyoto, on November 16, 1952. His parents were of "modest means," and his father taught the English language.

From an early age, Miyamoto began to explore the natural areas around his home. On one of these expeditions, Miyamoto came upon a cave, and, after days of hesitation, went inside. Miyamoto's expeditions into the Kyoto countryside inspired his later work, particularly The Legend of Zelda, a seminal video game.

Miyamoto graduated from Kanazawa Municipal College of Industrial Arts with a degree in industrial design but no job lined up. He also had a love for manga and initially hoped to become a professional manga artist before considering a career in video games. He was influenced by manga's classical kishōtenketsu narrative structure, as well as Western genre television shows. The title that inspired him to enter the video game industry was the 1978 arcade hit Space Invaders.
