'''Shigesato Itoi''' ({{ja|糸井重里}} ''Itoi Shigesato'', born November 10, 1948) is a Japanese copywriter and essayist, best known (particularly outside Japan) as the creator of the {{uv|EarthBound}} series, which is where characters such as [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]] originate. Itoi co-owns the rights to ''EarthBound'' characters, and as such he is the only individual credited by name on the title screen of every ''Smash'' game.
==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
Itoi was part of the original development team for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' under [[HAL Laboratory]].
