If you don’t know much about Miyamoto-san, let us tell you that he was born on this day in 1952 in Kyoto, Japan. During his childhood he was a big fan of manga to such an extent that he wanted to become a mangaka. However, when he tried his first video game (space invaders), his interest in such entertainment grew rapidly.
As for his studies, the Japanese graduated from the Kanazawa Municipal College of Industrial Arts, earning a degree in industrial design, and in 1977 began working in Nintendo’s planning department as an apprentice.
Once with that job, Miyamoto participated in the development of different titles, among them are Sheriff Y Radar Scopewhich allowed him to get experience to create a game that you will surely know, we mean the classic donkey kong.

From that moment on, and as a result of the success of that title in Japan and the rest of the world, the creator managed to present franchises such as Mario Bros., starfox Y Legend of Zeldaamong others, which have managed to maintain the success of Nintendo platforms until today.
Since then, Shigeru Miyamoto remains one of the main minds at Nintendo and continues to collaborate on different titles, which have allowed him to receive awards such as Person of Cultural Merit in Japan and the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities in 2012.
What is the current project of Japanese?
It is worth mentioning that Shigeru Miyamoto maintains a fairly active participation in the production of Super Mario Bros. The Moviealong with Chris Meledandri from Illumination Studios, so from time to time we see the plumber’s father appear in different Nintendo Direct giving news about it.
