Shigeru Miyamoto (born November 16, 1952) is a Japanese game designer. He created the Donkey Kong, Mario, Pikmin and Legend of Zelda video game series for Nintendo.
He is one of the most famous game designers in the world and is often called the father of modern video-gaming. His games give players many ways to play and explore. This was very unique in video games when his games were first released.
