The Videogame Scores of Ryoji Yoshitomi
This is a lightly edited version of a post originally made on my blog on December 17, 2016.
Ryoji Yoshitomi is another lesser-known Nintendo composer, even moreso than Nakatsuka is. He was not a very prolific composer, but he was a talented one.
Eventually he transitioned into a more sound support/sound supervision role. He is still working at Nintendo in that capacity.

I am posting these old posts as a way of archiving them, because I feel it is useful information to have gathered in one place, especially since these obscure composers are so little known.
Perhaps one day we will see a true videogame music wiki - something better than VGMpf, something more game-focused than VGMdb. Would that I had the time and money I might try and take on such a project myself.
I love the music in those games, I think he is a really talented conposer. Thank you for sharing again
