Can you join Nintendo?
The short answer:Nintendo appears in the university’s official employment records. However, the university does not publish headcount by company, so we cannot say how many students or what percentage joined Nintendo.
There is a confirmed KIT-to-Nintendo employment record
KIT’s information-science employer list names Nintendo among employers of master’s graduates in 2025, and also in 2024. At minimum, official public records confirm Nintendo as an actual destination.
But the number hired is not disclosed
KIT’s career office publishes employer lists by program and major, butdoes not publish the number joining each companyTherefore, we do not estimate Nintendo headcount or placement rates.

Most information-science undergraduates continue to graduate school
The same official page says most 2025 information-science graduates continued to graduate school. When considering technical employers such as Nintendo, it therefore makes sense to look through the master’s level rather than only bachelor’s employment.
Study in Kyoto, then work for a Kyoto company
KIT is in Matsugasaki, while Nintendo headquarters are in Minami Ward. Your daily area changes after graduation, so if assigned to Kyoto headquarters, it may make sense to choose housing again around the commute.
