Masayoshi Ishi

From Sega Retro

Masayoshi "Chamy" Ishi (伊師 正好), born February 2, 1963, is an employee of T's Music, a sound company that provides music for various video game publishers (but mostly Sega and Capcom). He is best known for his work on the Sengoku Basara series.

Ishi's notable Sega contributions include the composition of a fifth OutRun track (Step on Beat) for the Mega Drive version of the game, which was arranged by Shinichiro Sato along with the rest of the tracks, and the creation of PSG versions for a few of Hideki Naganuma's Sonic Rush compositions (alongside Hiroyuki Hamada) for the game's DS Download Play feature.

Databases such as Mobygames and GMCL (Game Music Composer List) identify Ishi's real name as Chamy Ishikawa (石川チャミィ). The source of this name, however, has yet to be determined.
