Most important to Nintendo: Satoshi Tajiri or Gunpei Yokoi?

I'm going to have to say Yokoi. His inventions are what helped shape Nintendo to what they are today. (And I do think firing him for the Virtual Boy was a mistake.) Not to downplay Tajiri's acomplishment of Pokemon, but it's been more spun off into its own company, rather than innovating Nintendo itself.
