Nintendo has a long track record of presidents who held the title for decades, a fact which I believe likely plays into their success as a company. When Kimishima became Nintendo's President following Iwata's passing, I was worried about his advanced age. Not that there's anything wrong with being old, but Nintendo is known for holding out against technological and commercial advances at times and people often become more conservative with age.
Then he blew me away. He oversaw the greatest rise in Nintendo profits in a decade and saw Nintendo (at least as a figurehead) launch the Switch. I've been impressed with what Nintendo's done the past few years and there's no way Kimishima was entirely separated from that. Then to voluntarily step down, knowing that the company needs fresh blood, the man is honorable. Though his time as head of Nintendo was short, he has been integral to their success and I'm grateful. Thank you, Tatsumi Kimishima.
