Seiko Kobuchi (小渕 世子) is a former Capcom sound composer and designer who produces electronic music and also provides vocals on occasion.
She joined the company in 2001, where she was first contracted to compose the music for Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse and then later the entirety of Resident Evil 0. Following this she contributed to Mega Man X7 alongside Shinya Okada, whom she would work with in four later games (including Haunting Ground, where she was lead composer).
Kobuchi is also a solo artist, having put out the album Love Viberation shortly before her first Capcom title was released. She is also a former Konami employee, as she composed the music for the 1998 arcade game Teraburst under the alias Soul Seiko.
Kobuchi left the company in 2008 shortly after she started work on Resident Evil 5; her two tracks having later been picked up by Kota Suzuki and Hideki Okugawa. She would later become a member of GeOnDan (like many other ex-Capcom sound members), which has since disbanded. Other works include being a guest arist on an arrange album for the arcade title Guwange (also featuring Akari Kaida and Yoshino Aoki) and an arrange album for Mega Man 10 as well as being a guest vocalist for Soundshock: FM Funk Maddness!! an album published by Ubiktune.
