Okay... the "Takaha, Shiochan" duo (?) is commonly credited for Kick Master, which sounds absolutely nothing like what else it's been credited for e.g. G.I. Joe. Instead, it sounds a lot more like Zombie Nation, which means Norio Nakagata. Can anyone make sense of this for me? Who is Takaha, anyway?

Are you sure Takaha is Yusuke Takahama? Yusuke Takahama worked for Data East, but GI Joe and Kick Master are KID games...

Also, does anyone know if it was confirmed somewhere that Nobuyuki Shioda did the music to GI Joe The Atlantis Factor? I know he was the main guy at KID and that he did A Real American Hero, so it would make sense that he did Atlantis Factor, but i couldn't find any solid proof anywhere.

Okay, so Nobuyuki Shioda did not do the music to GI Joe The Atlantis Factor. It was Takahama (Takaha):

Thanks to DoomMaster1994 for investigating that.

Now, I'm just looking for confirmation on what Takahama's first name is and if it is Yusuke, I guess he worked at both Data East and KID.

The Atlantis Factor ("GI JOE 2") and Kick Master are on Target Entertainment's work list: http://www.target-ent.com/gamelist.html. Not direct confirmation it was Takahama specifically, as Target has multiple sound guys, but combining that with the games' credits should mean it's him.

Is Target Entertainment Yusuke Takahama's company? This about page makes me think so:

http://www.target-ent.com/ent_company.html

Either way, I think that the games list on the site proves that Yusuke is The Atlantis Factor's Takahama's first name, and since Nobuyuki Shioda referred to him as Takahama and that he did the music to Atlantis Factor, it's conclusive that Yusuke Takahama was in fact the sole composer on The Atlantis Factor.

Also, the alias "Takaha" should probably be added to Yusuke Takahama's page on this site.

Yeah, Target is his company. Sorry I wasn't clear about that.
