Nintendo Legend Shigeru Miyamoto Becomes First Game Designer to Be Awarded Japan's Order of Culture

Legendary Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto will receive Japan’s highest honor for cultural merit next month. The 73-year old is the first video game developer to receive the Order of Culture, which is presented by the Emperor of Japan.

“I feel incredibly awkward but truly honored to be selected for such a prestigious award,” Miyamoto told the press on October 23. “As I often point out, I don’t create games on my own. This award is the result of working together with a great number of people, so I will accept it on their behalf.”

“Recently, I’ve been privileged to work with people from many different fields, not just games,” he added, referencing Super Nintendo World attractions at Universal Studios and films like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. “I’d like to share the joy of this award with everyone.”

Miyamoto is currently Nintendo’s Executive Fellow and Representative Director. He joined the company in 1977, playing a pivotal and formative role in Nintendo’s move towards making video games. While most famous for creating the Mario series (with the iconic Nintendo mascot’s first appearance in 1981’s Donkey Kong), Miyamoto also played key roles in the development of other major Nintendo franchises including The Legend of Zelda and Star Fox.
