Going to second Yokoi for the same reason as Firebush03. His philosophy guides Nintendo to this day.
I know you said one, but sometimes it's a pair. Specifically the Miyamoto-Tezuka pair. Miyamoto is the more public facing figure of the two, but the two of them designed-directed and created multiple of Nintendo's most iconic franchises, and headed up some of their best games.
Since the late Wii era, they've mostly split into separate categories of games with Tezuka handling the 2D stuff and Miyamoto the 3D... both with exceptions, they both work on Pikmin and both worked on Zelda Breath of the Wild.
