Shigesato Itoi (糸井重里 Itoi Shigesato, born November 10, 1948) is a Japanese copywriter and essayist, best known to have created the EarthBound series. He was also part of the original development team for Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Itoi is unique in that he is the only individual credited on the title screen of any Smash game; this is as a result of him co-owning the rights to EarthBound/Mother series characters such as Ness.
