Hiroshi Okubo is a Japanese composer and sound designer who worked at Namco. He has worked and served as audio director on their Ridge Racer, Tekken, and Ace Combat series.

Hiroshi joined Namco in 1994. While he is known for producing techno-style tracks, he allegedly wasn't aware of the style until Namco executives asked him to write in that style for his games. However, he later stated in an interview that this wasn't true. He explained that he was exposed to the genre when he was going to school, and going to clubs and buying CDs there. His parents also owned over 5000 records, in which he was exposed to many different genres.
