Gunpei Yokoi
Since her appearance in "Mario Tennis", Daisy has been a staple playable character in the "Mario" spin-off games, often paired with Peach. She was created by Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor Gunpei Yokoi, the producer of "Super Mario Land". Yokoi wanted to recreate the feeling of 1985's "Super Mario Bros.", only set in another world separate from the Mushroom Kingdom.
