Takahiro Izutani (#4008)

[Grungi_Ankhfire]

Using the same method as for Yoshitaka Suzuki (info from here + http://5pb.jp/records/release/detail...code=VGCD-0136 ), I found how his name is written in japanese, and it's イズタニタカヒロ

Seems to be the way it's written everywhere, like here : http://www.gem-impact.com/profile_izutani.html

And there's also a picture there.

So I think this wraps up the search for the MGS4 OST's composers' japanese name. (by the way, some still haven't been added, I don't know if this was because they were wrong or just because no one has gotten around to do it)

Takahiro Izutani and Yoshitaka Suzuki are two of Norihiko Hibino's GEM Impact employees that have worked on quite a few projects. I wasn't aware that there was a mysterious surrounding their Japanese names given their profiles have been up for at least a year on their company's official site. Still, at least it's nice to know some people are now aware of their existence.

Now we're on the topic, I'm very curious that both are attributed to Elvandia Story even though Norihiko Hibino is listed as the sole BGM composer in the soundtrack itself.

Thanks again for the research. I added the katakana name as his unicode name, and added that site as a link.
