Takayuki Nakamura

From Sega Retro

Takayuki Nakamura (中村 隆之), born July 1967, is a guitarist and a sound designer and engineer. Regarding his work with Sega (which began in August, 1989), he is perhaps best known for composing the music for the original Virtua Fighter.

Following his departure from Sega in September, 1996, Nakamura joined Dream Factory Co., Ltd., through which he composed the music for a few Square titles.

He later became a head member of Brainstorm Co., Ltd. in October 1999, joined by artist Katsumi Yokota (from Sega) and recording engineer Kenzi Nagashima (from Light Link Music), all of whom helped create the music for the hit PSP title Lumines. He is still a member of Brainstorm to this day.
