This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Masafumi Ogata (尾形 雅史), born 24 August, 1968 in Akita Prefecture, Japan, is a former Sega composer.

He has composed music for two Sonic games and one related CD (alongside Naofumi Hataya) and is notable for composing the opening theme song to Sonic CD, Sonic - You Can Do Anything (also known as Toot Toot Sonic Warrior). He is also credited under the alias "Gatao" (which is an anagram of Ogata) in the 8-bit version of Sonic 2, which contains a version of that song as the background music for the stage Green Hills Zone, almost certainly made before the version in Sonic CD.

Other than Sonic games, he composed the song "Crying World", the Round 6-1 theme in Ristar. This was not known until a soundtrack album Mega Drive Last Action Heroes, containing music from various Mega Drive games, was released; Tomoko Sasaki is credited as the sole composer in the game's credits (although Ogata is credited under Special Thanks as "Masashi Ogata").

Aside from Sega titles, he has also composed music for a few Japan-exclusive games developed by C's Ware.

Furthermore, from the notes of the CD albums Platina Selection and Radio DC, it has been determined that Ogata's main company is AIMS co., ltd, as "Brand-new World" (originally produced in 1994) was said to be "Re-arranged...for AIMS" in the latter album. This means that Ogata had been a part of AIMS from at least late 1994 to mid 1999.

He has also worked with Hitomi Momoi (better known as simply "MOMO") on occasion, as she provided the main vocals for "Brand-new World" from Sonic the Hedgehog - Remix (which Ogata arranged) and sang the ending theme of Death Crimson 2, "Maybe someday" (she also voiced the game's protagonist, Yuri Rosenberg).
