Kazunori Yamauchi
President, Polyphony Digital

The 42-year-old Japanese game designer is on the fast track: He has created eight Gran Turismo games, attracted a cult following among PlayStation users, and helped Nissan design the technology for its GT-R sports car, which appears in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Kazunori Yamauchi's games are dazzling in their design and striking in their detail, with licensed reproductions of actual cars and a choice of tracks from around the globe. And that real-world car he had a hand in? It was named the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year. -- by Abha Bhattarai

Kazunori Yamauchi (山内一典, born August 5, 1967) is a Japanese game designer who is the CEO of Polyphony Digital and creator and producer of the Gran Turismo series. He became the president of Polyphony Digital after creating his first game called Motor Toon Grand Prix, a cartoon racing game that was completely original and had a colorful, unique, and in every sense, "cartoony" feel. Since then, Yamauchi has fulfilled his dream of creating excellent car games with his massively successful Gran Turismo series. -- Wikipedia (5/15/2009).
