Takashi Tezuka talks about illustrious career and will remain producer at Nintendo

By Sickr on June 26, 2026

It has emerged during Nintendo’s recent shareholder question and answer session that the well-respected Takashi Tezuka will remain a producer at Nintendo. Takashi Tezuka is simply retiring from his role as an executive officer, so he will stay at the respected company as a producer. Here’s what he said via machine translation:

“I will be stepping down upon the expiration of my term. Looking back on these 42 years, I feel that “it was a fun job.”

We used to create our own games from scratch—games you couldn’t find in toy stores. Now that the company has grown on a large scale, there’s the joy of creating together with many people.

With new technologies like 3D, stereoscopic imaging, and motion controls, it was a joy for me as an engineer. Working at Nintendo means developing and delivering products that bring joy to people around the world—it’s something the entire company thinks about and creates with flexibility. I’m truly glad I worked for this company.

I will continue to be involved as a production producer. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to say a few words.”
