Hiroshi Yamauchi
Born in Sonobe, Japan, Miyamoto graduated from Kanazawa Municipal College of Industrial Arts. He originally sought a career as a manga artist, until developing an interest in video games. With the help of his father, he joined Nintendo in 1977 after impressing then-president Hiroshi Yamauchi with his toys. He helped create art for the arcade game "Sheriff", and was later tasked with designing a new arcade game, leading to the 1981 game "Donkey Kong".
