Hiroshi Yamauchi, former chairman of Nintendo Co., Japan's second-biggest maker of video games, was the list's biggest gainer, the magazine said. The 79 year old rose 11 places to No. 3, with a net worth of $4.8 billion. Nintendo shares have tripled in value since January 2006 on sales of its Wii consoles and DS Portable players.

Japan's 10 richest are:

1. Akira Mori: $5.5 billion
2. Masayoshi Son: $5.45 billion
3. Hiroshi Yamauchi: $4.8 billion
4. Kunio Busujima: $4.3 billion
5. Hiroko Takei: $4 billion
6. Nobutada Saji: $3.9 billion
7. Eitaro Itoyama: $3.8 billion
8. Tadashi Yanai: $3.6 billion
9. Takemitsu Takizaki: $2.7 billion
10. Masatoshi Ito: $2.6 billion

Now I really wish I figured out how to purchase those Nintendo shares back in 2004, I could've been a thousandaire by now.
