Shigeru Miyamoto
Born 1950 in Kyoto, Japan he studied at Kanazana college of art and he is now a game director, producer, character artist, game designer and EAD general manager. He's created some of the most successful video game franchises of all time including Mario, Donkey Kong and The Legend Of Zelda.
As a child he didn't have many toys so he often made his own and as he grew older he wandered away from his home on foot or by bike. The natural surroundings of Kyoto inspired much of Miyamotos work, one day he came across a hole in the ground and he peered inside but saw nothing but darkness. The next day he returned with a lantern and squeezed through the hole and found himself in a small cavern, he could see passageways that led to other chambers. He continued to return to this cave and so forth his explorations of Kyoto and the cave have been a huge source in his enthusiasm for inventing and designing video games. The cave has become a misty but indispensable part of his legend.
This video is definitely something that first came to mind.
