Hirokazu Tanaka
Hirokazu Tanaka (kanji: 田中 宏和) (nicknames "Hip Tanaka", "Chip Tanaka"), born December 13, 1957[1] is the president of Creatures, Inc., formally Ape. He is a famous musician and engineer, especially in Japan, specializing in chip music; in particular for arcades, Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and other mediums; such as anime music.
In fact, the Super Mario Land series, and other popular Nintendo franchises (including Pokémon's sub-franchise of anime) is sometimes synonymous with him amongst fans.
He has worked on Hello Kitty World (Famicom), Snoopy Concert music. He has produced albums from time to time.
Trivia
- While speculative, his demo song "Small Gift" from the Hirokazu Tanaka: Lost Tapes album release might be a reference to Sanrio's motto "Small Gift, Big Smile" for an unknown game.
- He loves complex systems, themes such as vacuums, the sporadic concept or sporadicness (in maths?); his official website is called "Sporadic Vacuum". It might just be his charm, or he does it for inspiration, poetry, or 'music in word'?
