Kinuyo Yamashita.
Kinuyo Yamashita (山下 絹代) is a renowned video game music composer formerly employed by Konami who now works freelance. Though best known for her work on the Castlevania series, she contributed to two Capcom titles during the mid '90s despite going uncredited in both instances.
History[]
The first Capcom title she contributed music to was Mega Man X3, which was credited to "Minakuchi Engineering Staff" (among others) for its soundtrack release. The second was Mega Man: The Wily Wars, as seen through the official worklist of Kouji Murata, a former Minakuchi Engineering employee who also worked on the game and had worked with Yamashita once before on the Famicom Disk System (FDS) title Arumana's Miracle.
In both cases Yamashita was contracted (but not directly employed) by Minakuchi Engineering to work for Capcom, as she had begun freelancing by this time. Her work arrangements parallel those of Murata, who remained contracted to the company during the mid '90s despite his departure.
