Masayuki Nagao

Masayuki Nagao (長尾優進) is a music composer, sound designer, keyboardist and lyricist born in 1964 that joined Sega in December 1991 when the company he worked for (then known as Santos) was acquired by Sega and renamed Megasoft. Nagao was also employed at Opus Corp at the time of games like Shinobi III and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. He has also written music and performed outside of video games, including writing the English lyrics for the song "RAIN" by 4ROCKAMBOS. He has since left Sega and has most recently worked on the "Evolution" game series published by Ignition Entertainment for the PSP handheld game system.

He is not to be mistaken for Naofumi Hataya, who was born in 1966 and joined Sega in 1990.
