Furukawa
President
Nintendo’s sixth president, a Tokyo-born classic-gaming devotee, joined Nintendo in 1994 and still has a crystal clear vision of the future. Furukawa’s reign has been a prosperous one, with a progressive mobile strategy that’s already in the record books. And it has come a long way from its days as a playing-card company, now a cultural-touchstone video-game developer whose consoles have included the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii and now the Switch. Having earned an approval rating of 96.51 percent from shareholders, it’s clear Furukawa has resonated with both consumers and the business world. By expanding the Switch’s reach and altering the company’s core approach to gaming on the go, he is intent on keeping his users brand loyal.
