Masahiro Sakurai

Masahiro Sakurai is a creative director at Nintendo, responsible for the creation of multiple world-famous franchises such as Kirby and Super Smash Bros.

Kirby and Super Smash Bros are some of my favorite games so naturally Sakurai comes to mind when accrediting. I also admire how dedicated Sakurai is on spreading his knowledge and experience in an accessible manner with his YouTube channel, "Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games".
