Strong Keep I were able to find an endless supply of big-time news articles and in quite a large amount of them he was described as the spearhead of the
Animal Crossing series. He was often the spokesperson for it. I added the note of the Animal Crossing fame and 5 sources. Here's the ping:

Right, but the coverage needs to be about the individual. All of these sources are more about the Animal Crossing series than the individual, and as such, can be covered adequately within the Animal Crossing series article. czar14:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)reply
It's not that the sources can't mention Animal Crossing but that they should be about him, as in the individual himself should be discussed in depth in the source, usually with biographical detail if the figure is important. Miyamoto has plenty of that. czar21:41, 22 February 2016 (UTC)reply
Like I had written before, I were looking at a large supply of sources. Going through the pages even deeper I found interviews about his work and life. Here is a surprisingly indepth article about how he really did create the series:
7 Surprising Facts About Nintendo's Animal Crossing. I think that should really be used to pad his article but I'm not sure how to avoid copyright violation. There's also this interview which talks about his career (more in the video if you download it):

Delete and Draft and Userfy if needed as this is still questionable for solid independent notability, the article has some information and sources but this is all still questionable.
