    Yamauchi is the family name so of course they are all the same name😂. Their given names would be : Fusajiro, Sekiryo and Hiroshi

    • @Clery75019
      @Clery75019 Год назад

      Actually, Sekiryo wasn't Fusajiro's son but his son-in-law. Indeed Fusajiro only had daughters. So the husband of his elder daughter, Sekiryo Kaneda, took the name of his wife to lead the family business. Sekiryo will also have 2 daughters, and the husband of the one inheriting the playing cards business will eventually leave his family. Their kid, Hiroshi will eventually take his mother's name, Yamauchi.

      @@Clery75019 in Japan it's not uncommon for men to take on their father-in-law family name as a way of kind-of adoption. Usually because of big inheritance, the name has more prestige, because the father-in-law has no male heir or a combination of those. My understanding is that Hiroshi was born with the family name Yamauchi.

      As a matter of fact, the love hotels story isn't documented. Historians couldn't find any evidence of it in Nintendo's historical accountings. So, if the story is real, then the business was directly founded by Hiroshi Yamauchi independently from Nintendo.

    Just love nintendo. They constantly make such damn amazing games to buy and even at the end of the switch's life span it's still getting more games to play. Another thing I love about them and hope stays the same for all time is they don't make their system worthless like shit box and more and more with PS by moving all their games to other and better platforms. Literally do not need a shit box for anything since everything is multi platform with games on better platforms than that garbage. Sony is copying the idea of making the system pointless by making their games only timed exclusive. Thankfully nintendo keeps their games where they should only be, on their system. Want the damn game so much? Buy the system or emulate, simple.
