Japanese video game maker Nintendo has said its chief executive Satoru Iwata has died of cancer at the age of 55.
Mr Iwata underwent surgery last year and had resumed his duties after a brief period of recovery.
Most recently, he led Nintendo into the rapidly growing mobile gaming sector.
In March this year, Nintendo announced a deal with mobile gaming company DeNA to start their foray into mobile gaming.
"The successor will most likely be someone internal and it will be crucial whether it will be someone who is serious about that step into mobile gaming."
