Don't know if I'd even count Kimishima in the ranking since his presence was just too short, coupled with the fact he was always meant as an interim after Iwata's passing.
Furukawa has been managing Nintendo's most prosperous period but in the same light as Yamauchi, he's not much versed on the development side of things so he feels quite distant to his customer base unlike Iwata which was the only true CEO of the big 3 having hands down on the development side of things. Guy was a genius of his time despite the managerial blunder of the WiiU/3DS era.
Yamauchi was the first, the most strong-headed of them all but he deserves major props to get all the talent he needed so the company could prosper under the watch of Iwata.
1) Iwata
2) Yamauchi
3) Furukawa
4) Kimishima
