Ryuichi Sakamoto (坂本龍) is a renowned and highly-influential Japanese musician. A founder of pioneering electronic music group Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto's early incorporation of electronic sounds into popular music helped inspire a number of future Sega talent to make their way into computer-focused industries (such as Yuji Naka and Kenji Eno), and is most known among the modern gaming community for composing the Sega Dreamcast startup jingle.
