Nintendo posts Kyoto career listing for Graphic Designer - Advertising

Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s Career Recruitment pages posted a Kyoto role titled "グラフィックデザイナー（広告）" (Graphic Designer - Advertising) on February 27, 2026, the company's Talent Acquisition group flagged on its Japan career site. The small excerpt provided reproduces the job title and shows the listing "appears among Nintendo’s Career (キャリア採" but the supplied text ends mid-sentence.

What is known from the posting is limited to the Japanese title, the Kyoto location and the February 27, 2026 posting date; the supplied snippet does not include a job ID, an application URL, a description of duties, required qualifications, employment type, or compensation. The absence of salary or benefits information in the excerpt is notable given standard recruiting practice.

A contemporaneous Nintendo-affiliated posting provides context for the company's design hiring: Nintendo Software Technology Corporation in Redmond, Washington, posted "CONTRACT - Concept Artist (NST)" with explicit duties such as "Participates in the creation of 2D Concept that meets required direction and quality specifications," "Participates in assigned illustrations, 3D models, and textures for environments and objects," and "Participates in assigned animations for 3D and 2D assets." NST's recruitment language includes the corporate mission, "Nintendo Software Technology's mission is to design, develop and deliver the very best video games," and the equal-opportunity statement, "Nintendo is an equal opportunity employer. We offer a welcoming and inclusive environment in service to one another, our products, the diverse consumers we represent, and the communities we call home."

Compensation and benefits tied to the NST posting in the supplied material list a base salary range of $77,500 - $124,000 annually, "potential for a semi-annual discretionary performance bonus," and "a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid time off." That salary and benefits information appears in the Gamecompanies excerpt attached to the NST posting in the material provided; the Kyoto "グラフィックデザイナー（広告）" excerpt contains no comparable pay or benefits details.

The job titles suggest different missions: the Kyoto listing explicitly uses "広告" (advertising), which implies marketing and brand work, while the Redmond NST posting is explicitly labeled "CONTRACT" and describes game-development tasks including implementing gameplay features. General designer duties elsewhere in the supplied material include "Designs creative solutions for internal requests using strong technical skills" and "Understands and adheres to brand guidelines and style guides," which may overlap with an in-house advertising role but are not linked to the Kyoto posting in the provided text.

Key follow-ups remain: obtain the full Nintendo Japan career page for "グラフィックデザイナー（広告）" to capture the complete job description, employment type, salary and benefits, application link and deadline, and whether the role reports to marketing/advertising or another business unit. Until Nintendo publishes the full listing text for the Kyoto posting, the Feb. 27, 2026 entry signals at minimum that Talent Acquisition posted an advertising-focused graphic design opening in Kyoto, separate from concurrent design recruiting in Redmond.
