Takayoshi Sato joined Nintendo?
A new Nintendo staff member named Takayoshi Sato is listed under Nintendo Co., Ltd. and as a Visual Producer for the NST developed Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move. It is a high ranking position to be associated without any previous history. The only Takashi Sato with game credits seems to be a former Konami artist who worked on the Silent Hill series.
If this is the same person, it looks like he just joined Nintendo SPD.
