'''E102''' is a member of the [[Sonic Retro]] community who focuses on the music of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series. He has contributed updated credits to various pieces of music in various ''Sonic'' games, including:

• More official titles for tracks from the [[sega:Sega Mega Drive|Mega Drive / Genesis]] and [[sega:Game Gear|Game Gear]] games<br/>
• Information on the sound tests for the ''[[Sonic Advance]]'' trilogy and related titles<br/>
• The creation of pages for [[sega:Keiichi Sugiyama|Keiichi Sugiyama]], [[sega:Sachio Ogawa|Sachio Ogawa]], [[sega:Masayuki Nagao|Masayuki Nagao]], [[sega:Kojiro Mikusa|Kojiro Mikusa]], [[sega:Chikayo Fukuda|Chikayo Fukuda]], [[sega:Yoshiaki Kashima|Yoshiaki Kashima]], [[sega:Mitsuharu Fukuyama|Mitsuharu Fukuyama]], [[sega:Hidenori Shoji|Hidenori Shoji]], [[sega:Takeshi Isozaki|Takeshi Isozaki]], and many, many more<br/>
• Evidence for the connection between the pseudonym '''Dawasa''' and the composer [[sega:Tomonori Sawada|Tomonori Sawada]]<br/>
• As above, between '''Milpo''' and [[sega:Yoshiaki Kashima|Yoshiaki Kashima]]<br/>

It is also originally thanks to his efforts that the long-standing idea that [[sega:Masayuki Nagao|Masayuki Nagao]] was a pseudonym of [[sega:Naofumi Hataya|Naofumi Hataya]] (known chiefly to Sonic fans as one of the two composers for the Japanese soundtrack of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]''), which had spread rampantly across the Internet, was finally resolved as being false.

He has contributed more on [[sega:Sega Retro|Sega Retro]], having updated the credit lists for nearly every [[sega:Wave Master|Wave Master]] employee and sound staff member about whom said wiki has an article.  He also updates the pages for other [[Sega]] developers on occasion.

He is perhaps best known on the Sonic scene for his contributions in properly crediting the music of ''[[Sonic 3 & Knuckles]]'', having officially tagged nearly half the soundtrack thus far; and he has made efforts to ascertain exactly what [[Michael Jackson Involvement with Sonic 3|Michael Jackson ''et al.'' did for the game]], including the debunking of [[User:PicklePower|PicklePower]]'s "technical limitations" rumor relating to ''[[Sonic & Knuckles Collection]]''.

In 2012 he shifted more towards the addition of game credits, especially the obscure arcade titles that most databases such as MobyGames ignore.

In 2013 he has incorporated voice acting credits, and in doing so, has successfully contacted [[Moriah Angeline]] and [[sega:Greg Weber|Greg Weber]] and confirmed the respective roles of [[Maria Robotnik]] in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' (who had previously been credited to Shelly Fox with no evidence whatsoever pertaining to it) and [[sega:Jeff Kramer|Jeff Kramer]] as [[E-123 Omega]] in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' (whose credit faced corruption on many, many levels).

Before joining Sonic Retro, he made other discoveries relating to composers such as Toshihiko Horiyama, Yasuaki Fujita, and Naoshi Mizuta and has since contacted the likes of Chris Rezanson, [[Hideki Naganuma]], Teruo Konishi and Shuichi Mizohata. and has furthered the resolve for greater credit information via liner notes, archived data and – though it sometimes backfires – his own perceptions.

His motto: If he doesn't do it, who will?

To this day he is still surprised that no one before him registered with this name.
