Nicolaas Hamman
From Sega Retro
Playlist Manager for RADIOSEGA. Trusted Editor for VGMdb.
- Country: South Africa
- Date of Birth: 2000-08-21
- First Soundtrack Purchase: SEGA RALLY 2006 ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK
- Playlist Manager since: June 29, 2020
Frequents various SEGA websites for music-related info. Cares deeply about Production Credits. Unnofficially heads the SEGA side of VGMdb's product line. Half the year, I host the weekly podcast/LiVE show Individual on RadioSEGA. It's a Wednesday show in which I go over the histories and sounds of SEGA sound designers (or at the very least, the musicians with substantial ties to SEGA). A lot of edits you see during the second half of the year, it's to do with me researching for Individual.

- Kazuyuki Shibata - Kyz (Phantasy Star III, thanked with many previous series developers), Zephirum (Surging Aura, same role as in PSII, is a fantasy-sounding name with a Z like all his known aliases)
- Hirokazu Yasuhara - Autumn (in Super League (Mega Drive), Autumn is a translation of Akitsu, like the name Carol Akitsu. They are also both graphic designers and Autumn worked with Naoto Ohshima).
- Daisuke Sato - Ching Sato (in Surging Aura, an RPG Production game)
- Takayuki Iida - Iiyo (both programmers in roughly the same era)
- Hiroyuki Kawaguchi - Hirorih or Hirochan (in Formula One World Championship: Beyond the Limit, artist, matches CS2 -> CS3 -> CS2 trajectory)

- Yoshiaki Kitagawa - Will Cane (game designer named Kita)
- Sei Akaiwa - Say.A/Say A (evolution from CS2 to CS3 seems to work out)

- Hiroshi Nakatani - Hirorih (seems to have been a member of Sega CS3)
- Hiroshi Nikaidoh - Papa the programmer (Naoto Ohshima said most of the programmers behind Sonic 3 also programmed Sonic 1[2], which only makes sense if Sonic 1 had multiple programmers, but only 1 is credited. The closest option is Papa in the special thanks.)
- Izumi Shirota - Chata (possibly worked with Kazuo Wakihara and Hiroshi Momota on both Streets of Rage III and Iron Storm)
- Shinya Tsukizaki - Dehehe (shared programmers between Formula One World Championship: Beyond the Limit and Clockwork Knight, and Tsukizaki is officially old in the early 2000's).
