Miyamoto described himself as being a "heretic" at Shaft-- someone who, in a company of many differing directors, is only good at doing "plain work", and isn't particularly original or creative. Shinbo described Miyamoto in a similar way, but said that he was more like a professional craftsman who leaves their mark in places that cannot be seen.
