Tomohiro Nishikado
is a Japanese video game developer. He is best known as the creator of the shooter game ''Space Invaders'', released to the public in 1978 by the Taito Corporation of Japan, often credited as the first shoot 'em up〔 and for beginning the golden age of video arcade games.〔 Originally Nishikado wanted to use airplanes as enemies for Space Invaders, but would have encountered problems making them move smoothly due to the limited computing power at the time (the game was based on Intel's 8 bit 8080 microprocessor). Humans would have been easier to render, but management at Taito forbade the use of human targets. Prior to ''Space Invaders'', he was also the designer for many of Taito's earlier hits, including the early team sport games ''Soccer'' and ''Davis Cup'' in 1973, the early scrolling racing video game ''Speed Race'' in 1974,〔 the early dual-stick on-foot multi-directional shooter〔Stephen Totilo, (In Search Of The First Video Game Gun ), Kotaku〕 ''Gun Fight'' in 1975, and the first-person combat flight simulator ''Interceptor''〔 in 1975.〔
==Early Career==
Nishikado graduated with an engineering degree from Tokyo Denki University in 1968. He joined Taito Trading Company in 1969. After working on mechanical games, in 1972, he developed ''Elepong'' (similar to ''Pong''), one of Japan's earliest locally-produced video arcade games, released in 1973. He produced over 10 video games before ''Space Invaders'' was released in 1978. He left Taito in 1996 to found his own company, (Dreams ). As of 2013, he is no longer with Dreams, and presently works for Taito as a technical advisor.〔 ((Translation ))〕〔("Survey of Digital Games: Home Pong to Late 70s arcade" ) (slide 28).〕
