DS Daily: Shigeru Miyamoto's haircut
by Eric Caoili 
{ Feb 5th 2008 at 9:00AM }
In a recent piece summarizing Famitsu's 1000th issue and its extensive Shigeru Miyamoto interview, Next-Gen's Tim Rogers makes an impassioned plea to the celebrated game designer to visit a competent hairstylist. Well, geniuses have been known to let their hair go wild -- just look at Albert Einstein, Ludwig van Beethoven, and, uh, Don King. Rogers argues that he's never seen Miyamoto with a decent haircut, adding, "My father, though he eats salad with his mouth wide open, has never designed a video game, and is not in the habit of being photographed for magazines or appearing on television, has a better haircut than Shigeru Miyamoto."
The father of modern video gaming will always be remembered for his classic characters and games, regardless of his hair situation, but we still want to hear your thoughts on his hair -- just fine or in need of a trim? Bring a pair of scissors past the break for a couple more Miyamoto photos.

Just doesnt compare to Nobuo Uematsu hair.

People who aren't other people have different haircuts from those people. That's some keen observation, Rogers.

This is important. I like the importance of this post and the article it linked to.
I will ponder the haircut question when I have reached a higher state of boredom.
Level 80 or something.

It's fine... fine I tell ya!
People really shouldn't judge petty issues like hair, anyway.
Evangelist Pinto @ Feb 5th 2008 9:45AM
His hair is fine, I dont see nothing wrong with it.
LuigiHann @ Feb 5th 2008 9:51AM
I like his hair. It shows his personality.

Speaking as someone with massive boofy unstyled hair, I totally support Shiggy's hair!
KamenRiderTakoyaki @ Feb 5th 2008 10:45AM
Hey, it's his hairstyle. It's not bad, it's aight.
metatron @ Feb 5th 2008 10:48AM
Eh. It's a defining characteristic of Shiggy. Let him be.
Matdredalia @ Feb 5th 2008 11:41AM
The look on his face n the top picture scares me, and the hair doesn't help.
However, the second picture is fine and he looks adorable. The third picture.....seems a bit weird for Shiggy.
Brello @ Feb 5th 2008 11:42AM
If he bothered changing it this late, he'd just look silly.
Blu-Sam @ Feb 5th 2008 12:53PM
it's who he is, he is a person of figure we know.

He should wear a hat if he can't animate his hair correctly. Or was that Mario?
Waffala @ Feb 5th 2008 7:07PM
He should grow it out like Itagaki, then start wearing nothing but leather.. and sexually harassing employees, oh yeah, badass.

LIke someone else here said.... this is a terribly important question to ponder NOT! Egads peoples.....who cares how someone wears their hair? Here's a shocker, some folks could care less what their haircut looks like!

I think haircuts normally matter, appearances are usually the first thing you notice in a person, and therefor the first thing you judge them on. But this is Miyamoto. Who cares what hair he has, he's one of the fathers of modern gaming, and he's a genius.

I'm glad the people on this board are smarter than that Rogers guy.
The hair is perfect the way it is.
Dio @ Feb 6th 2008 12:50AM
Rogers must be gay if he's so worried about other people's hair.
B @ Feb 6th 2008 3:02AM
I can see it now "Eric's hair salon DS" you wash and cut their hair, then to blow dry you blow into the mic...FABULOUS!!!11
Seriously tho, it looks like the typical asian haircut. If this is all you have to ponder in life then you need more DS games.

By now I would've thought this was obvious knowledge on a DS fansite;
It's not about the visuals, it's the content.
