2003 to 2021 and has done voice acting work in some of his games most notably providing the voice of king dedede in kirby 64 the crystal shards and the super smash bros series from 2022 to 2024 sakurai ran an educational youtube channel masahiro sakurai on creating games which discussed various topics in game design and his career career masahiro sakurai was born on august 3 1970 in musashimurayama tokyo japan 1 one of sakurai s earliest experiences in the video game industry began when he worked for hal laboratory where he created the character kirby at age 19 and directed his first title kirby s dream land 2 sakurai left hal on august 5 2003 he explained in an interview with nintendo dream that he felt it would be difficult to create new projects while staying at hal due to the direction of the gaming industry where the risk of failure was high while he was not being pressured by hal to create kirby sequels he noted increasing tension within the industry as a whole it was tough for me to see that every time i made a new game people automatically assumed that a sequel was coming even if it s a sequel lots of people have to give their all to make a game but some people think the sequel process happens naturally 3 4 soon after sakurai began working on a project with q entertainment along with tetsuya mizuguchi this collaboration resulted in meteos in 2005 a puzzle game for the nintendo ds on september 30 2005 sakurai announced that he had formed his own company sora ltd 5 two games were announced to be in development but no information on the titles had been divulged as for the future of the super smash bros series nintendo and hal laboratory president satoru iwata during nintendo s e3 2005 press conference promised an online iteration of the game would come to the wii 6 in issue 885 of famitsu magazine sakurai revealed that he would be serving as a director and game designer on super smash bros brawl for the wii super smash bros brawl was released in 2008 after personnel borrowed from 19 different developer studios assisted in development 7 sakurai had been updating daily the super smash bros brawl website called the smash bros dojo starting a year previous the release he revealed brawl secrets and gameplay content through the site the smash bros dojo had regular updates from may 22 2007 to april 14 2008 8 the logo of sora ltd on the final day of updates it was revealed that sakurai provided the voice for king dedede in kirby 64 the crystal shards as well as dedede in super smash bros brawl he and his company sora ltd alongside nintendo started a first party studio project sora which was 72 owned by nintendo and 28 owned by sora ltd it was revealed at e3 2010 that sakurai and project sora were working on kid icarus uprising for the nintendo 3ds project sora was closed and ended development on june 30 2012 9 at e3 2011 nintendo announced that sakurai was working on super smash bros for nintendo 3ds and wii u sakurai began development of the title upon the release of kid icarus uprising in march 2012 10 in february 2013 sakurai was diagnosed with calcific tendinitis near his right shoulder which caused him substantial pain whenever he moved his arm he mentioned that this could effectively slow down his work as he does some of his game testing himself 11 in a january 2015 column in weekly famitsu sakurai alluded to the possibility of retirement expressing doubt that he would be able to continue making games if his career continued to be as stressful as it was 12 in december 2015 sakurai once again stated that he was not sure if there would be another game in the smash bros series 13 prior to super smash bros ultimate being released in 2018 with sakurai once again as director 14 on march 14 2022
