Shiro Nakamura melded philosophies from the worlds of music and car design to carve out an impressive career in the industry. He’s best known for heading up Nissan design in the 2000s and 2010s. Under his watch, the company tightened up its styling operations and adopted a bold, distinctive new look. Before this, Nakamura led Isuzu’s efforts. That might not sound very exciting on the surface seeing as how the automaker gets by on trucks and sport utilities nowadays. In its heyday, it built radical concept cars and genre-defining production vehicles. Nakamura was right in the thick of it. And he’s still making waves in the design world years after his retirement.
