Role(s): Composer, Musician

Masanori Takeuchi (竹内雅則) is a Sega composer. He joined Sega in the early 90's under the AM1 division, and would continue to compose for them under Wow Entertainment and Sega Wow, but by the late 2000's had been moved to the AM2 division. His last known work for the company was for After Burner Climax, though in the commentary for Golden Axe The Music he mentioned he was still writing music for Sega.

He is not to be confused with Masanori Takeuchi (竹内将典), the FromSoftware producer who has worked on a few Sega-published titles in the early 2000s.
