'''Yukio Kaneoka''' is a Japanese electronic engineer and sound designer. From as early as 1981, Kaneoka worked for [[Nintendo]] as a sound designer, composer, and programmer. He worked on a lot of their earliest arcade and home console games, but his last known credit for new work was as part of the staff of F-Zero released in 1990. Probably Kaneoka's biggest claim to fame was designing the [[RP2A03]]'s APU for the Famicom / NES, and later its counterpart in the [[Famicom Disk System]]'s RP2C33 controller. In addition, he created Nintendo's sound driver [[Kankichi-kun]].
