Ken Kutaragi

Ken Kutaragi is a good person, he's a businessman and he invented the PlayStation. Working at Sony was what influenced his life, that was when he grouped with Nintendo. He and Nintendo made the Play-Station. Later Nintendo backed out of their deal and Kutaragi made the PlayStation. Sony did not trust Kutaragi, so Kutaragi pushed Sony to release the PlayStation which later created huge success.

Kutaragi accomplished many things, but his main thing was the PlayStation. Kutaragi also accomplished being the president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. This led him to continue doing different entertainment things, such as PSP, PS3, and PS4. Another of his accomplishments, was he created a toy that "saved" Sony with its sales.

Some of the problems that Kutaragi had to overcome,that he had to deal with were that he was arguing with Nintendo in the making of the PlayStation. Another of his problems he had to overcome were that Sony itself didn't want to continue on the project after Nintendo backed out of the project. Kutaragi had to lead this project and see if it succeeded or not. Later after they started selling the first couple PlayStations, the demand became bigger and bigger, and supplied 40% of Sony's profits, which "saved" Sony because the project was pretty costly.

Kutaragi reacted badly to being treated unfairly by threatening Sony to leave the company. Since Kutaragi was one of the main engineers Sony let him do so with the PlayStation. Kutaragi was angry at Sony for not trusting him, so he later did the project,for Sony. The PlayStation was the world's most successful console and won the battle against Sony. Kutaragi made a group and started the PlayStation.

Kutaragi acted against popular opinion by making a product that will not only make him happy, but everybody happy. The PlayStation made him happy because he sold it very successfully. The PlayStation also made the people who bought it happy because it was fun to use and it was a very advanced in its time for the people. The PlayStation also made Sony Computer Entertainment happy because it supplied the company with about 40% of its profits.

People's lives were changed with Kutaragi's work because it was very advanced for its time. People's lives were also changed because of the entertainment that the PlayStation gave them in their lives. People's lives were changed forever with Kutaragi's inventions. Some people spend all day playing around in their video games, while others don't, but Kutaragi definitely changed many people's lives.

I don't think there is a need for a hero like Kutaragi right now because of all the technology. I think that this type of hero is more needed in the past because today there are many industries, making very similar things to Kutaragi. I also think that he is needed because some other industries make entertainment devices but they're not as good as Kutaragi's, so he is needed. Kutaragi is needed to make new products faster because other companies are starting to catch up and more products are needed.

I could imitate this hero by designing entertainment devices or things that could be useful or just for fun. I could also use my engineering skills to make good projects, or models of things that could be helpful in the future. I could also follow people who do those kinds of things, and see if I could make my own. I could also just follow Kutaragi's example of making/ doing something that will make everybody happy.
