Hiroshi Yamauchi
was a Japanese businessman. He was the third president of Nintendo, joining the company in 1949 until stepping down on May 31, 2002, to be succeeded by Satoru Iwata. Yamauchi is credited with transforming Nintendo from a small hanafuda card-making company in Japan to a multibillion-dollar video game company. He also became the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners baseball team in 1992; the current CEO of the Mariners is former Nintendo of America chairman Howard Lincoln.
As of April 2013, Forbes estimated Yamauchi’s net worth at $2.1 billion; he was the 13th richest person in Japan and the 491st richest in the world.〔 In 2008, Yamauchi was Japan’s wealthiest person with a fortune at that time estimated at $7.8 billion.
At the time of his death, Yamauchi was the largest shareholder at Nintendo.〔〔("Status of Shares" ). ''Nintendo Co., Ltd.'' March 31, 2013. Retrieved on September 19, 2013.〕
== Early life ==
Yamauchi was born in Kyoto, where he was sent to a preparatory school at age twelve. He planned to study law or engineering, but World War II disrupted his studies. Since he was too young to fight, he was put to work in a military factory. Once the war ended in 1945, Yamauchi went to Waseda University to study law. He married Michiko Inaba. With the absence of Yamauchi’s father, who had abandoned his son and wife, Kimi, his grandparents met to arrange the marriage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.n-sider.com/articleview.php?articleid=272 )〕
