==Career==
* ''[[Scud Race]]'' (1996) — Sound
+
{{PAGENAME}} began working for the Sega [[AM2]] department's sound section in 1996 as a part-time job{{ref|1=https://web.archive.org/web/20040416022655/http://amusementvision.com/column/heard_01.html}}. He was secured this job thanks to his brother{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20220310084104/https://blog.ja.playstation.com/2022/03/10/20220310-psmusic/}} [[Hiroaki Shoji]]{{ref|1=https://web.archive.org/web/20231019081451/https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28014}}. He was given a test period of 3 months, in which he was invited by [[Seiichiro Matsumura]] to create the name entry music for ''[[Sega Touring Car Championship]]''{{ref|1=https://web.archive.org/web/20231019081451/https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28014}}. He was promoted to full-time employee, and his debut as sound director was ''[[Fighting Vipers 2]]''{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20040416022655/http://amusementvision.com/column/heard_01.html}}. Shortly after its release, [[Sega AM11]] spun out of AM2 and Shoji became one of its sound designers{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20040416022655/http://amusementvision.com/column/heard_01.html}}. He continued with AM11's successors [[Sega Software R&D Dept. 4]] and [[Amusement Vision]] on its various franchises, including ''[[:category:Spikeout|Spikeout]]'', ''[[:category:Virtua Striker (franchise)|Virtua Striker]]'' and ''[[:category:Super Monkey Ball (franchise)|Super Monkey Ball]]'', as well as the [[Nintendo]] IP ''[[F-Zero GX]]''/''[[F-Zero AX|AX]]''.

Outside of games, {{PAGENAME}} had several social responsibilities at Amusement Vision. On the company's official website, he was the primary writer for the "heard" column, which shone a spotlight on music the members of Amusement Vision's sound team (and the occasional special guest) listened to. He was also the manager of the Amusement Vision Billiards Club (AVBC) and both the deputy manager and instructor of the company's guitar club{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20030525211741/http://www.amusementvision.com/column/pub_01.html}}.

With  Amusement Vision being renamed [[New Entertainment R&D Dept.]] in 2004, {{PAGENAME}} continued to work on the department's flagship new title ''[[Yakuza]]'' as sound director, and also established the series' tradition of featuring songs written by guests from elsewhere within Sega, such as [[Fumio Ito]], who had also joined AM2 around 1996{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20231019081451/https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28014}}. Shoji would then become subject to "Yakuza Purgatory"{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20220307211403/http://www.ad.design.kyushu-u.ac.jp/graduate/pdf/ReMember14.pdf}}, working on almost yearly installments in the series from then on, besides some spin-offs games.

Hidenori Shoji (庄司 英徳) is a Japanese video game composer, guitarist and sound designer employed by Sega since 1996, beginning in the AM2 department. He is best known for directing the music for the Ryu ga Gotoku (aka Yakuza) series and several Super Monkey Ball games, but is also notable for his work on Fighting Vipers 2, the Spikeout franchise, F-Zero GX/AX and Binary Domain.

Frequently worked with Toshihiro Nagoshi and his usual team, including musicians Haruyoshi Tomita, Yuri Fukuda, Chihiro Aoki and others. Hidenori is the younger brother of programmer/director Hiroaki Shoji.

Career

Hidenori Shoji began working for the Sega AM2 department's sound section in 1996 as a part-time job[2]. He was secured this job thanks to his brother[4] Hiroaki Shoji[5]. He was given a test period of 3 months, in which he was invited by Seiichiro Matsumura to create the name entry music for Sega Touring Car Championship[5]. He was promoted to full-time employee, and his debut as sound director was Fighting Vipers 2[2]. Shortly after its release, Sega AM11 spun out of AM2 and Shoji became one of its sound designers[2]. He continued with AM11's successors Sega Software R&D Dept. 4 and Amusement Vision on its various franchises, including Spikeout, Virtua Striker and Super Monkey Ball, as well as the Nintendo IP F-Zero GX/AX.

Outside of games, Hidenori Shoji had several social responsibilities at Amusement Vision. On the company's official website, he was the primary writer for the "heard" column, which shone a spotlight on music the members of Amusement Vision's sound team (and the occasional special guest) listened to. He was also the manager of the Amusement Vision Billiards Club (AVBC) and both the deputy manager and instructor of the company's guitar club[6].

With Amusement Vision being renamed New Entertainment R&D Dept. in 2004, Hidenori Shoji continued to work on the department's flagship new title Yakuza as sound director, and also established the series' tradition of featuring songs written by guests from elsewhere within Sega, such as Fumio Ito, who had also joined AM2 around 1996[7]. Shoji would then become subject to "Yakuza Purgatory"[8], working on almost yearly installments in the series from then on, besides some spin-offs games.

In 2005, Shoji was also a guest guitarist for the band [H.][9], later becoming a core member of the group for the following decade.

During a transition period in the early 2010's, following former Family Entertainment sound staff working on console games, Hidenori Shoji returned to the arcades, contributing as guest to Code of Joker.

In 2018 he started contributing to some mobile games, most notably Ryu ga Gotoku Online and Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World: Lost in Memories.

In 2020, Hidenori Shoji and producer Daisuke Sato were awarded with the Dramatic Sound Award by PlayStation Game Music, for their work on Yakuza 3[10]. In 2022 Shoji and Chihiro Aoki won the same award again for Judgment[4].

He made his debut on the Sonic series in 2023 with Sonic Superstars.
