Tomohiro Nishikado
One of the most influential game designers, Tomohiro Nishikado was behind Taito's most innovative arcade hits of the 1970s, including Basketball, Speed Race, Western Gun (Gun Fight), Interceptor, and most importantly Space Invaders, which kick-started the arcade golden age and launched video games into the mainstream. He was a pioneer who laid down many of the concepts, systems, rules and vocabulary still used by most video games through to the present day.
