Minoru Arakawa was the former president of Nintendo of America (NOA), from 1980 to 2002. He is also the son-in-law of former president of Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi, due to his marriage to Yoko Yamauchi.

Arakawa also hired Howard Philips, who would be invaluable to the creation of Nintendo Power magazine.
