		Hiroshi Yamauchi was born on November 7, 1927, and was the son of Kimi and Shikanojo Yamauchi.
		Yamauchi in those days believed the marketing people would only look at what was popular at the time, and therefore did not allow them to see the games before they were completed.
		Still, Hiroshi Yamauchi will always be appreciated for turning a card-manufacturing family business into the leading company in the multi-billion dollar industry of interactive entertainment, something he accomplished by possessing the dynamism required to lead a successful corporation.

		Yamauchi realized that Nintendo needed to “develop something that other companies cannot copy,” a video game system that “must be so much better that there will be no question which system the customers will want” (Sheff 29).
		Yamauchi has been described as “rigorously rational” and possessing an “aura of charisma.” Nintendo is confident under Yamauchi, who fails to direct encouragement toward his staff.
		Hiroshi Yamauchi is definitely the strongest driving force behind the powerhouse known as Nintendo.

	Yamauchi to step down from Nintendo board in June // GamesIndustry.biz
		Former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi is to step down from his position on the board of directors of the company, ending 55 years of direct involvement with the company - although he will continue to act as an adviser.
		Yamauchi, the great grandson of Nintendo founder Fusajiro Yamauchi, took over the reins as president of Nintendo after the death of his grandfather Sekiryo in 1949, and oversaw the reinvention of the playing card company as a market leader in the burgeoning videogames market.
		Throughout his tenure at Nintendo, Yamauchi has been an incredibly colourful character, and was widely seen as one of the most interesting and unpredictable executives in the games industry thanks to his outspoken and occasionally bizarre pronouncements about his business rivals.

		It was Yamauchi, apparently, who first proposed the concept of games employing a dual-screen device about 18 months ago, although that's not meant to be taken as a sign that he's returned to an active management role at Nintendo.
		Yamauchi, Iwata said, discerned a trend among game consumers that the DS could take advantage of, and handed off the idea to Nintendo's current management to implement in more detail.
		Yamauchi explained that the games business has matured in ways he hadn't expected, and that it's reached a critical point.

		Hiroshi was just 5 years old when Shikanojo Yamauchi left the hometown Kyoto, leaving his wife, Kimi, and his son behind.
		The 21-year old Hiroshi Yamauchi that went to visit his grandfather Sekiryo, where he lied and rested himself from a heart attack, had been abandoned by his father, given away by his mother, and brought up crudely by his grandparents, and it felt very hard for him to show any feelings due to these reasons.
		So I guess Hiroshi was quite happy when he left the main office in Kyoto the 31st may, leaving his ‘whole life’ behind, after being the executive producer of almost 300 million consoles and more than 1.3 billion Nintendo games.

		Hiroshi’s idea was to use these empty bowling alleys as shooting ranges for the light guns and simulated clay pigeons with solar-celled light detectors.
		Hiroshi was interested in this new business in the making, and because of their desperation, he wanted in.
		Hiroshi was pleased and Shigeru had the privilege of being endowed with the position of Nintendo’s first ever staff artist, although there was absolutely no need for one (maybe he did it for the sake of giving his friend’s son a job).

	Yamauchi retiring from Nintendo board - News at GameSpot
		According to Nintendo, Yamauchi decided to step down due to his age (and lack of "stamina"), as well as the fact that the company had "stabilized its business operations" during the three years since his retirement from the presidency.
		While it is unknown how Yamauchi will spend his days now that he is no longer on the Nintendo board of directors, last year he bankrolled the building of a new poetry museum in Tokyo.
		Yamauchi is the man responsible for green-lighting the development of the original Famicom, as well as Nintendo's first steps into the arcade business, with Radarscope and Donkey Kong.

		Living in relative luxury, the young Yamauchi became known for his bitter sullenness and arrogance, a byproduct of living under the shame created by his father abandoning him and the Nintendo presidency.
		Yamauchi spent the 1950's bringing the card company in to the modern age by adopting western manufacturing methods as many post-war Japanese companies did at the time.
		A huge success, Hiroshi wasn't satisfied and soon came up with the idea to use the technology to convert bowling alleys in to shooting ranges complete with projected "clay pigeons", thereby entering the arcade industry and creating another huge success for the growing company.

		Hiroshi Yamauchi is the man. It's the wackos like him, Steve Jobs and Dean Kamen who can always be counted on for originality even though it may not always sell.
		Yamauchi had been saying Nintendo wouldn't go into CD technology if they can't figure out how to shorten load times.....and N64 was catridge based.
		Whether its 100% accurate, I don't know....but it sure sounds like the sort of things Yamauchi would say....its partly because of his beliefs in gaming innovation that pushed Nintendo into what we have today.
