Kazuaki Morita was a programmer on Mario Bros., Zelda NES, Zelda SNES, Zelda Game Boy, Zelda 64, where he did the bosses and fishing game; among many others.

He was often assigned the most challenging programming tasks. His coding style is so specific that it even shows in disassembled or decompiled code ("Ha, this file is classic Morita").
