Hiroshi Yamauchi, the third president of Nintendo, resigned from his position on May 24, 2002.
Yamauchi took Nintendo from a hanafuda card-making company limited to Japan and transformed it into a video game publisher and global conglomerate.
He was the great-grandson of the first president of Nintendo.
Yamauchi owned the baseball team until his passing.
In April, Forbes estimated Yamauchi's net worth at $2 billion.
At that time, he was the 13th richest person in Japan and the 499th richest globally.
Yamauchi was considered the wealthiest person in Japan with an estimated fortune of $7.8 billion.
At the time of his death, Yamauchi was the largest shareholder of Nintendo.
Shikanojo Inaba and Kimi were Yamauchi's parents.
His father left when he was five, and his mother, unable to cope as a single parent, gave him up to her parents.
His paternal inheritance was dependent on adoption as his grandfather was a business owner.
At the age of twelve, he was sent to a school in Kyoto.
His education was interrupted by World War II, and he worked in a military factory since he was too young to fight.
After the war, Yamauchi enrolled at Waseda University to study law.
He was married to Michiko Inaba, with his father being absent during the marriage arrangement.
It is possible that the last statement comes from a doubtful source.

He will be firm and honest towards his goals.
He will have a firm desire and a determined view about everything.
The person will be recognized for his revolutionary ideas, liberal traits and a desire to benefit the common man.
It will be very difficult to know his state of mind, even if one knows his for a long time and even his friends will be unable to know his very well.
He will be philosophically minded, serious natured and soft hearted.
He will be intelligent and will have a sharp memory. His mind will be sharp and logical and he will believe in resolving disputes through arguments.
He will be skilled at getting his work done through others.
He will be impersonal in his working. He will have a special and wonderful workstyle.
He will be interested in solitude, meditation and worship.
He will meet everyone with politeness, praise their qualities but be critical of them behind their back.
He will give importance to secrecy - what is in his mind, what he thinks, what he does, nobody can know easily. His specialty is hiding and executing plans.

Characteristics to be corrected - Cultivate activity and promptness, avoid solitude, anxiety, gloom, pessimism and one should not be very rigid towards those whom one dislikes.
