The Mario and Zelda creator gathered nearly two million votes from Time readers on his march to the top of the list.

Miyamoto was followed by Korean pop singer Rain in second place, with comedian Stephen Colbert coming in at number three. Supermodels-turned-TV-hosts Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks round out the top five.
