Shigeru Miyamoto is a Japanese video game designer who is often called the "father of modern video gaming". He has created many classic games, such as Mario, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda. He is a senior manager and games developer at Nintendo. Miyamoto rarely plays video games and prefers to play the guitar and breed dogs.

Miyamoto was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1952. He loved to draw and paint pictures when he was a young boy. He explored the countryside around his home a lot, which gave him many ideas for his later games. In 1970, he went to art college, where he remembers spending most of the time doodling. In 1977, he joined Nintendo as an artist.

Miyamoto’s big break came in 1980 when Nintendo America was desperately looking for a smash-hit game. Miyamoto was asked to design the game that would make Nintendo a big player in the US market. He came up with Donkey Kong, which would become one of the biggest games ever. At the same time, Miyamoto developed Mario, who has also become a phenomenal success.

Miyamoto was a key figure in the success of the Nintendo Wii. He believed early on that the Wii could outsell PS3 and Xbox 360 by putting simple, fun games on it. Miyamoto was one of ‘Time’ magazine's 100 Most Influential People of the Year in 2007. He is currently developing more Wii products and the Mario, Sonic and Pikmin series.
