From Sonic Retro
Naofumi Hataya (幡谷 尚史), born November 13, 1966 in Saitama, Japan, is a musician and composer working for Wave Master. He graduated from Rikkyo University, where he played in a band. Though Hataya did not want a career in music, he was looking to improve his skills, so he sought a job at a music-related company. In 1990, he took a job at Sega, and the rest is history.
