Toshiharu Yamanishi is a Japanese composer and sound designer. He started working for Technosoft around 1990. During his time there, he worked on some of the Thunder Force games, the soundtracks of which were highly acclaimed. In 1995, Yamanishi left the company and started working for Gust. At the company, he was the lead sound designer, and worked on the Atelier Marie / Elie series of games, and even wrote its theme song. After leaving Gust, he continued to do sound for a couple different companies, doing the audio for a few adult-oriented computer titles. In 2009, it appears he left the game industry, and his activity online has been sporadic. He had started working for Exelion around 2013, but it is unknown if he still works there or not.
