Kazunari Mimura is a Japanese game programmer. He originally joined Namco, but later worked for Tomcat System in the early 90's and programmed games for the company. He also developed sound drivers with Takane Ohkubo, who also worked at Tomcat System. The two eventually broke off to form their own audio group Beat Maniac, which provided audio for video games.
Audio Development
Game Boy
On Block Kuzushi GB, Mimura developed his own sound driver. Later, Mimura's sound driver got used by Takane Ohkubo.
OeRSTED's president Sei Mochizuki would later create his own sound driver for the company.
SNES
Mimura programmed a sound driver with Takane Ohkubo, as mentioned above. Since the company worked with Imagineer occasionally, Koji Hayashi would sometimes use their driver.
