Hiroyuki Iwatsuki
Hiroyuki Iwatsuki (岩月 博之) (born 1970) is a Japanese video game music composer who has contributed to the soundtracks of ''Ninja Warriors'', ''Pocky & Rocky'', and ''Omega Five''. He has been composing and arranging songs for the game company Natsume Atari beginning as early as the 1991 NES title ''Chaos World''.

With technological advances, video game music has grown to include a wider range of sounds. Players can hear music in video games over a game's title screen, menus, and gameplay. Game soundtracks can also change depending on a player's actions or situation, such as indicating missed actions in rhythm games, informing the player they are in a dangerous situation, or rewarding them for specific achievements. Video game music can be one of two kinds: original or licensed.
