Hironobu Sakaguchi

Japanese video game designer (born 1962)

Hironobu Sakaguchi belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Hironobu Sakaguchi as Japanese video game designer (born 1962).

Hironobu Sakaguchi was born at Hitachi in 1962. His recorded nationality is Japan. He was educated at Yokohama National University.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

The record gives his occupations as video game producer, film director and computer scientist.

His principal work is Final Fantasy. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.

His recorded fields of work are video game.

His work was formally recognised with the Game Developers Choice Award - Lifetime Achievement.

That the work was done from Japan matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Hironobu Sakaguchi is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
