Description:
Sonobe (now Nantan), Kyoto, Japan: the hometown and environment of influence for Shigeru Miyamoto. Often called the "Disney" of Video Games, Shigeru Miyamoto is the humble artist-producer of most of the world's most recognized games. Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, Kirby, Legend of Zelda and more... his games have become a franchise-empire that helped launch Nintendo and even Japanese culture into America's homes. In interviews he talks about how his hometown and early childhood memories have been a great influence on several of his games, especially Zelda. Despite his influence and cult fame (see the t-shirts), Miyamoto insists on living a modest life and shys away from attention, focusing more on his ceative endeavors.
