Kazunori Yamauchi (山内一典, born August 5, 1967) is a Japanese game designer who is the CEO of Polyphony Digital and creator and producer of the Gran Turismo series. He became the president of Polyphony Digital after creating his first game called Motor Toon Grand Prix, a cartoon racing game that was completely original and had a colorful, unique, and in every sense, "cartoony" feel. Since then, Yamauchi has fulfilled his dream of creating excellent car games with his massively successful Gran Turismo series. For his help with promoting Volkswagen(VW) models in the series, VW gave him a Golf R32.
He recently helped design the technology for Nissan's new GT-R which appears in the latest game in his franchise, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. He was given a Nissan GT-R for his contribution.
On a video included with Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Yamauchi remarked his favorite car design is the Ford GT and he owns two in real life.
