Tadashi Sugiyama
According to Nintendo Dream during a Mario Kart DD interview (Thanks Shmuplations) we have additional information from Tadashi Sugiyama's origin at Nintendo
"Sugiyama: No, I worked on a lot of the very first Famicom games. I joined Nintendo the same year as Yoshio Sakamoto."
What we know

This means he joined Nintendo in 1982 (instead of what we originally calculated in 1983). Besides his admission on working on "a lot of the very first Famicom games" he also probably worked on some arcade or game&watch titles since Famicom development didn't begin until 1983.
