Hi friends -

I am a huge fan of the Olympics, Japan and Nintendo

With how well Shinzo Abe's appearance at the Rio Olympics was received as Mario, I believe the Tokyo Olympic Committee, IOC and Nintendo should invite Shigeru Miyamoto to participate in the 2020 opening ceremonies at the Olympics

He is responsible for creating many of the most beloved video game franchises and interactive art projects of all time and basically saved the industry in 1985. I cannot think of a more worthy representative of Japanese culture, friendly competition and one who has spread joy and love globally

If you also believe this would be a wonderful outcome and the right choice, support me in this petition. I have watched every Olympics since I was 6 and have loved gaming for over 30 years and I can't think of a bigger joy during these upcoming games that would bring a smile to so many and acknowledge the greatest video game talent of all time for his greatness and contributions to the world
