Makoto Tomozawa (友澤 眞) is a former executive sound member and composer for Capcom best known as the main composer of the Mega Man Legends series.
History[]
He joined in 1993, where his first tracks were for Aladdin for the SNES, even though his first official work with the company was for The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey and Minnie (which is completely uncredited in-game). Whenever he was credited, however, it was usually with his alias, V-Tomozo.
During the '90s he mainly worked on the Mega Man, Resident Evil and Dino Crisis series, including the composition of Bass' (Forte in Japan) theme.
Tomozawa's music range is seemingly as variant as the types of games he's involved with: hard rock in Mega Man X, horror tones in Dino Crisis, classical music in Mega Man Legends, and standard Resident Evil fare in the series' first entry, though he tends to specialize in opening and ending themes. In light of this "range," however, the only instrument he is known to play is the guitar.
In the following decade, Tomozawa has arranged some of his older work for the Gamecube version of Resident Evil and created new music for the less-than-successful P.N.03. Immediately following the latter title's release Tomozawa left the company and joined Dimps Corporation, where he was involved with Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit. More recently, however, Dimps' newfound involvement with Capcom allowed Tomozawa to act as Sound Co-Director for Street Fighter IV (and sole director of its two "Super" revisions) and served as one of the eight returning composers for Mega Man 10 because of his work on Mega Man 7.
As a side note, it should be pointed out that his name is one of nine credited for Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (which has no in-game staff roll) according to the Canadian copyright record, thus implying that Tomozawa's work with the Capcom brand started with this game, and not Aladdin, even if he were a freelancer at the time.
