In 2005, Minobe left [[Sega]] to join [[Delfi Sound Inc.]], a subsidiary of [[Marvelous Entertainment]]. This, however, has not prevented him from working with his former company, especially when it comes to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series.

Yutaka Minobe
Employment history:
Role(s): Musician

Yutaka Minobe (蓑部 雄崇) is a self-taught musician who learned to play the piano at four years old and was composing original works by the age of eight. Minobe's gameography includes Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Dr. Pris & Dr. Rachel and Rule of Rose. Minobe began working with Sega in 1996, producing sound effects and arranging music beginning with the original Sakura Taisen and later composing and performing his own music from 1998 on, usually for Sonic Team titles. His main instrument is the piano.

In 2005, Minobe left Sega to join Delfi Sound Inc., a subsidiary of Marvelous Entertainment. This, however, has not prevented him from working with his former company, especially when it comes to the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Minobe has also worked on anime soundtracks, most notably that of the 2003 Astro Boy TV series and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, the latter of which he produced alongside Wall 5 Project (of which Heigo Tani, another former Sega music associate, is a member).
