For those who may not know, Imamura joined Nintendo as a graphic artist in 1989, meaning he has been with the company for over 30 years. The first game he worked on was <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/know-about-f-zero-snes\/\">the original\u00a0<\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/know-about-f-zero-snes\/\">F-Zero<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for the SNES.<\/p>\n<p>Though not everyone may recognize his name, Imamura lent his talents as an artist\/designer to many\u00a0beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/nintendo\/\">Nintendo<\/a> titles, including\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ocarina-of-time-3d-vs-majoras-mask-3d-best-remake\/\">The Legend of Zelda: Majora&#8217;s Mask<\/a><\/em>, the N64 sequel to\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>. Though the latter is regarded by many as one of the best video games of all time, fans of the former will argue that it&#8217;s the better of the two. It is famous for its much darker atmosphere and three-day time limit, with the young Link needing to regularly rewind time to prevent a horrific moon from crashing into the\u00a0land of Termina.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"related-single\">RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/zelda-majoras-mask-cut-content\/\">Zelda: 10 Things You Didn\u2019t Know Were Cut From Majora\u2019s Mask<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Imamura served as\u00a0<em>Majora&#8217;s Mask<\/em>&#8216;s art director and is responsible for creating the Moon, the titular mask itself, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/zelda-tingles-family-characters-ranked-design\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the polarizing Tingle<\/a>, who would go on to become a series regular, popping up in\u00a0<em>Wind Waker<\/em>, becoming playable in\u00a0<em>Hyrule Warriors<\/em>, and even getting his own game,\u00a0<em>Freshly-Picked Tingle&#8217;s Rosy Rupeeland<\/em>.

He&#8217;s also credited with creating\u00a0<em>F-Zero\u00a0<\/em>star Captain Falcon (who&#8217;s probably more famous now for his frequent appearances in\u00a0<em>Super Smash Bros.<\/em>) and many members of the\u00a0<em>Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>cast, including Fox himself and Falco.<\/p>\n<p>Both the\u00a0<em>F-Zero\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>series&#8217; seem to be being neglected by Nintendo at the moment. The last\u00a0<em>F-Zero\u00a0<\/em>game released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 (and was exclusive to Japan) and fans have been begging for a new game ever since. Earlier this month,\u00a0<em>Yakuza\u00a0<\/em>creator\u00a0Toshihiro Nagoshi, who worked as <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/f-zero-gx-producer-series-return-interest\/\">producer on\u00a0<\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/f-zero-gx-producer-series-return-interest\/\">F-Zero GX<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>said that he&#8217;d be open to coming back to work on the series.<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>has fared a bit better, with the last game being 2016&#8217;s\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/star-fox-zero-review\/\">Star Fox Zero<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for the Wii U, which Imamura was a supervisor on and acted as a pseudo-reboot of the series.
