I've never heard of him before, but I am thankful for his contributions, especially to Majora's Mask.

He's responsible for Tingle's existence.

Damn, that makes him leaving even worse. An iconic character to be sure.

It's worse than that. Imamura not only designed the F-Zero and Star Fox characters, he was largely responsible for the series' stories. I fear that his departure is the final nail in the Star Fox series coffin. Sad
