Just pointing out, he was the principal owner of the Mariners, he owned the most shares, but not the entire team. Also, Nintendo's been managing his shares for a while, and was willed his shares, so Nintendo is now the principal owner.

How do you memorialize a guy who created a legendary brand, but was also, like... kinda evil?

Evil? Shocked
Do you realize that he almost completely financed the building of a cancer hospital centre in Kyoto, don't you? He was strict, not evil. -__-'
