Hideaki Shimizu is a Japanese composer, sound designer, and audio programmer. He started working for Nintendo in the early 1990's, but most of his recent work has been as a programmer and director, including Flipnote Studio for the DSi. It appears his last game for Nintendo was The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (3DS), in which he provided Technical Support. As a result, it is unknown if he still works at the company.
Audio Development
NES
Shimizu used a custom audio driver. Because he is credited for sound programming in many other titles, he most likely programmed the driver himself. This would also explain why he didn't use another Nintendo sound designer's audio driver such as Koji Kondo, Akito Nakatsuka, or Hirokazu Tanaka's.
