 The Nintendo creator
Nintendo has changed a lot over the years, but who came up with it? Nintendo
was created by Fusajiro Yamauchi. Fusajiro Yamauchi had
a daughter named Tai Yamauchi, who would later marry Sekiryo Kaneda, and a wife. In
1889 he opened a new company, Nintendo Koppai. His company
made playing cards called hanafuda. With two stores, one in
Osaka and one in Kyoto, the company grew more and more, and he
had to hire employees. Fusajiro retired in 1929, after which his son-
in- law took over the company and died in the Second World War.

Led by young Hiroshi Yamauchi (Fusajiro's grandson) after World

War II, the company wanted to expand its businessmodel to everything from a taxi service to Love Hotels. Most of
these moments failed and their Hanafuda sales would fall after the 1964 Olympics. When they were close to bankrupt
cy, the company contacted one of its employees, Gunpei Yokoi, seen by colleagues for his
love of inventing devices and product ideas. Yokoi brought some of
his inventions into Nintendo and Nintendo had a few small hits in these ideas: the Ultra
Hand, the Love Tester and the Ultra Machine, among others. Because of
these successes, Yamauchi decided that Nintendo would become an entertainment and games
company.

Tinkering with solar cells and transistors led Yokoi and another engineer to make a few simple light gun
games, shooting a bottle in the right place would cause it to burst apart, a
toy lion roar, and so on. Moving these to abandoned bowling alleys gave Nintendo their Laser Clay Ranges, where play
ers would put some coins in and shoot at electronic targets installed at the end
of lanes. Although at first successful, the 1973 oil crisis reduced demand for the Ranges, and Nintendo was forced to
take a different path. In the late 70's Nintendo became a real
videogame company. The current owner is Shuntaro Furukawa since june 2018

 History Of Nintendo
Aidian Harlaar
3T1

Nintendo is known for years all around the globe but were did this amazing story of
Nintendo begin. Nintendo is a Japanese company that was founded by a man
called, Fusajiro Yamauchi. Fusajiro was born of the 22 of November and he died in
1940. He founded Nintendo in Kioto, Japan. The exact date was 23 September
1889. The company was first called Yamauchi Nintendo, Fusajiro named it after his
last name, Yamauchi. A Japanese tradition is that the son of the owner overtakes
the company, if the owner retires or died. But Fusajiro did not have any sons to
take over in the family business. To follow the tradition Fusajiro legally adopted his
son-in-law, Sekiryo Kaneda. He then took his wife's last name, Yamauchi. This way he
had a son. In 1929 Fusajiro retired and assigned Sekiryo Kaneda as CEO of the company.

Kaneda renamed the company in 1933 to Yamauchi Nintendo & Co. He did this after he established and joint venture
with another company. Kaneda also only had daughters, so they did the same thing again. They adopted a son-in-law,
named Shikanojo Inaba. He also took his wife's last name, Yamauchi. His name later was Shikanojo Yamauchi. A couple
years later Shikanojo abandoned the family and the family business. He never became the CEO of the family business.
After the abandonment of Shikanojo Yamauchi, his son Hiroshi Yamauchi became the CEO of the
company. Hiroshi Yamauchi had studied and graduated at the Waseda university. In 1965 Hiroshi had hired a
maintenance engineer. his name was Gunpei Yokoi. But a couple years later he got famous, and not because he was
able to repair stuff. This was because of his ability to make things no one was able to make. In 1971 Hiroshi made an
alliance with an American company called, Magnavox. They could produce the same number of games and other stuff
as in Japan, but they would be able to sell them for much more profit then in Japan. Many years of success past by and
then in 1989 they made something that would change the history of videogames.

Nintendo had brought out the Game Boy. The Game Boy was invented by Gunpei Yokoi. He created the Game and
Watch years earlier. This Game Boy came along with a popular game called, Tetris. Because of the price and the
amount of lifetime, the Game Boy was a well sold product on the market.
The day it was brought out, it was sold 118 million times. Super Mario land
was also released at the time for the Game Boy. 43 million copies were
already sold in the first week. Another highlight happened in October 2007, a
lot of years later. The reason why it was so special was, because in that year
the first women became the CEO of Nintendo. Her name was Rose Lappin.
Before she became the CEO, she was a Marketing Manager in Australia. She
did nothing before she was the Marketing Manager. This was most of the
history of Nintendo.

most important are:

In the series of games is link the most important person and the character you use the most, his job is to defeat Tetra and her
bad guys. In the meantime, he gets help of a princes named Zelda, which in a couple of games hid herself as Sheik to not be
suspicious.
Link and Zelda are a good team together because they stand for the ‘good’, because link stands for courage and Zelda stands for
wisdom. Tetra is the reincarnation of Zelda and stands for wisdom, only she belongs to the bad guys.
There are also a couple of other character who play a small but sometimes an important role in the story of the game, which are:
 Tingle, who sells maps.
 2 witches named Koume (Firewitch) and Kotake (Ice witch)
