Genyo Takeda has been working at Nintendo since the early 1970s. Sadly, his time with the company is coming to an end. A document included with Nintendo’s latest financial results confirms that he’s retiring.

Takeda was most recently assigned the role of Representative Director and “Technology Fellow” in 2015. He has largely worked on the hardware side of things at Nintendo, but was the director and producer of several titles such as Punch-Out!! and Pilotwings 64.

Ko Shiota should be taking over Takeda’s role. This should all be made official following the 77th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 29.
