# Yoshihisa Kishimoto

> Yoshihisa Kishimoto  was a Japanese video game developer known primarily for his involvement with Technos Japan Corp. He was best known for his work on beat 'em up games as the original creator of the Kunio-kun and Double Dragon game franchises, having worked on the original arcade and NES installments in both series. While not the first side-scrolling martial arts action games, as they were predated by Kung-Fu Master, they established the general template and conventions used by the beat 'em up genre since the late 1980s. Because of this, he has sometimes been referred to as the grandfather of the beat 'em up genre. Before his death, he was the President and Representative Director of the game company Plophet.
