Yoshio Sakamoto

Developer BIO

Yoshio Sakamoto has been employed by Nintendo since 1982. His early work consisted primarily of script writing and scenario planning before moving on to the role of game director for Nintendo R&D1’s now classic title Metroid - a series he has been creatively involved with ever since, either directing or supervising (Metroid Prime). He would later form the Team Shikamaru group in the early 90’s within R&D1 to develop storylines for future R&D1 titles.

In 2007, Sakamoto currently resides with the recently formed Nintendo SP&D (Special-Planning & Development) division which consists of members from the now defunct R&D1.
