Hiroshi Kawaguchi (川口 博史 Kawaguchi Hiroshi?, born April 12, 1965) is a Japanese video game music composer and keyboardist who works for Sega. He is among the oldest of the Sega sound team members, and one of the few from the 1980s still active today. He joined Sega in 1984 as a programmer, but quit the job and became a composer the following year.
He is also known as Hiro and Hiroshi Miyauchi (宮内 博史) (his pre-mukoyōshi name), and has been a part of both the S.S.T. Band and the sound unit [H.], the latter of which he leads.
He worked closely with game designer, Yu Suzuki, and as a result, served as the main composer for the Space Harrier, Out Run, and After Burner series, some of the company's most recognized brands, and has contributed music to many others.
