Namco founder and “Father of Pac-Man” has died

quote [ Masaya Nakamura, the founder of Japanese video game company Namco, has died at age 91. Nakamura is widely known as the "Father of Pac-Man" for his role in bringing the arcade classic—created by designer Toru Iwatani in 1980—to Japan and to the US via a licensing deal with Midway. ]

He wasn't the game designer, but Namco was certainly a key player in the video game boom.
