Kouji Murata is a Japanese composer, sound designer and sound programmer who is best known for his many works at Konami. He started working for TOSE and Konami in the 80's and later worked for Capcom in the 90's. Kouji attended Tateishiyama Shiga High School and graduated in 1981. He attended Kinki University for Electronics, but later dropped out. He worked at Freak Ltd. as an instrument repairman. His video game music career started in 1986 when he worked for Tose. He wasn't credited in any of their games since the company didn't believe in giving credit to them or their staff and they were such early titles when credits in Nintendo games were rare. In 1987, he worked for Konami. He left the company in 1989 and went on to work as a freelance composer. He later worked for Minakuchi Engineering and composed the audio for some of their games. From 1995 to 2010, he worked for Yoshidayama workshop Co. as a composer. He currently works at Groove Bit as the executive producer.


Gameography

(Note: The Bases Loaded 2 soundtrack uses the same title screen music as the first game, but the composer is credited as "Sonoda". Kouji said this is not him, and that he doesn't know about Sonoda.)
