Ken Kutaragi was born on August 8th, 1950 in Tokyo. He was a brilliant student of Denki Tsushin University where he graduated as an engineer, specializing in various machinery and electronics. As a visionary, he saw the early potential of video games while the market was still in its infant stages.
He joined Sony in 1975; the technological advances in the late 1980s and the technical progress made on various media eventually convinced him that video games would be a mass entertainment of the future.
However, Sony has not really started yet in the race and by far it follows the battle between Nintendo (with its Famicom) and Sega (Megadrive), the two leaders of the time on the market. Ken Kutaragi, was employed by Sony but was not feeling understood or listened to within the company.
He accepted an offer of employment offered by Nintendo who was looking for a sound engineer to develop its console. He worked for days in utmost secrecy to finally achieve a technological treasure trove, the SPC700, which allowed the Super Famicom Nintendo exceed the Sega console in sound.
Despite this betrayal of the highest importance, the historical president of Sony, Norio Ohga, Kutaragi offered his support and gave him the means to finish its work against the promise of his return to the ranks. If his actions seem to go against morality, we must recognize that Ken Kutaragi has reached his goals through this ploy rather than his academic talent.
Sony entered the ground floor in the video game market by agreeing to participate in the project "CD" and particularly by endorsing the project "PlayStation".
