#1. Iwata. Responsible for Pokemon Gold/Silver being the greatest Pokemon games. That alone makes him #1.

#2 Kimishima. Given the time frame, I'm assuming he's responsible for the Switch? Helped Nintendo into a huge success right there.

#3 Furukawa. I literally didn't know his name (or that he'd replaced Kimishima) until this thread.

#4 Yamauchi. By all accounts sounds like he was a massive cunt.

My exact ranking, I'm surprised to see even one person with the same despite only 4 presidents in the running. 

I truly cannot dissociate Yamauchi's titanic accomplishments with his greed, arrogance, and even some of his failures. Because of that, I can't rank him 1 or 2 like most are doing.

The other 3 presidents we're ranking seem like leaders who steer the ship with the lower ranked leaders and even the employees around the bottom of the totem pole. Yamauchi is the type who cracks a whip while the employees pull him in a chariot. That's again not to discount his accomplishments and some of the leaders he helped mold. It's just my preference and a big reason I rank him last.
