Keisuke Tsukahara (composer)

Keisuke Tsukahara (塚原啓介) is a long-time (but less prominent) member of the Sega sound team whose genre is best represented by one of his two main aliases: Psychedelic Chung (the other being Tsukachan). He is best known for composing the music for Shinobi series title Shadow Dancer and he was reassigned to the AM2 R&D Unit (aka AM R&D Department 2) in the mid 90's. During the late 80's and early 90's, he mainly worked on console titles, though occasionally composed for arcade titles.

Tsukahara is also significant for his involvement with attractions found exclusively in Sega-inspired theme parks such as Joypolis and Sega World Sydney.
