I vote we add other developers to the list. So, I'm going to redo this. I will list the developer, then what he is known for/what he's done.
Then I'll re-list the developers/designers for voting.

Gunpei Yokoi - Creator of various Nintendo-branded toys, Game & Watch, GameBoy, Virtual Boy, and WonderSwan. Possibly the entire reason Nintendo got serious about the videogame business in the first place.
