Takahiro Hamano (浜野 高広) was a programmer for Sonic Team. In the 90's, he was viewed as one of the top 3 programmers of Sega's home console games, alongside Yuji Naka and Masanobu Yamamoto,[1] and Naka considered him his main rival[2]. He worked closely with Yuji Naka on maintaining and practising Naka's Sonic engine of the original 2D games. This is demonstrated in Sonic Jam and Sonic Advance. His last known credit was in Sonic Battle.
