The main programmer of Kirby's Dreamland was Satoru Iwata (credited under the pseudonym Sunday Rain in the game) the later president and CEO of Nintendo.
Apparently Hiroshi Yamauchi the original Nintendo CEO saw promise in Iwata and insisted he'd be made president of HAL (and later his successor at Nintendo).
