Changes: Yuko Komiyama

Revision as of 23:19, 27 June 2012

Yuko Komiyama (小見山優子) is a Capcom sound composer best known for her work on the Monster Hunter series. She is also known as Komio.

Komiyama was originally involved with the Mega Man X series of games, replacing the departed Naoto Tanaka (aka Akemi Kimura) as sound director for Mega Man X7 (which featured a fusion of electric and rock elements) and X8 (more rock oriented). In addition to the change in genre, she is also known to utilize motifs; this is especially apparent in X8. She was also a sub composer for Command Mission, the series' RPG-spinoff, and composed promotional music for Glass Rose, working with Seiko Kobuchi in both instances.

Following the close of the X series, Komiyama would then become a regular composer for the Monster Hunter series, beginning with its first portable entry. She is also noted for writing the lyrics for the series' vocal themes alongside Kaname Fujioka.

Based on the notes found in this album, she appears to have left the company as of 2011.
