Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (光吉猛修 Mitsuyoshi Takenobu?, born December 12, 1967) is a Japanese composer of video game music. He has composed music for various games produced by Sega, including Virtua Fighter 2 and Shenmue.
Mitsuyoshi's name first gained major recognition after the release of Daytona USA, for which he had written all music and personally sang all vocals.
With the arcade games, Derby Owners Club, World Club Champion Football and Star Horse, he also recorded live orchestras.
Aside from original compositions, he also arranges, provides vocals, and is a performer for a variety of projects, including S.S.T from 1988 to 1993, and [H.] from 2004 onwards.
Mitsuyoshi's music from Shenmue was performed live at the first Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany in 2003. It was the first time that a concert featuring video game music was held outside Japan.
Mitsuyoshi attended the world-premiere of Play! A Video Game Symphony at the Rosemont Theater in Rosemont, Illinois in May 2006. His music from the Shenmue series was performed by a full symphony orchestra. This event drew nearly 4000 attendees.
