It seems this is the same person as Kouichi Shimamura (島村 孝一), as this is how he's credited in Sorcerer's Kingdom's staff roll. Kouichi appears as a composer in a smattering of older games, notably the Alfa System game Linda³. It looks like Kouichi -> Youichi around 1998 or 1999 or so.

Kouichi Shimamura shows up in a few games credited with Mao Kusaka/MAO's Studio MAO: Great Hits (PS1), Hexcite (GBC), and others. This could mean that he was part of Studio MAO, or just that both he and Studio MAO worked on them.
The old, official Hexcite staff page lists his e-mail address as [email protected]. This same address was used by MAO on old versions of the Studio MAO site. So MAO = Kouichi Shimamura too. "Kouichi.S" and "K.Shimamura" show up in a few games developed by Star Fish, and they're him too. There are a few Star Fish games in the Studio MAO works list, and Kaseki Sosei Ribbon II: Monster Digger (GBC) credits both "Kouichi S." and Studio MAO. |

Given that Yoichi Shimamura was active at Alfa System (Cyber Daisenryaku) at the same time Koichi Shimamura was doing things for Starfish and other companies, and that the Studio MAO works list only listed games attributable to Koichi and none of the Alfa System games by Yoichi, I'm now thinking that Yoichi and Koichi are different people with coincidentally similar names who both worked for Alfa System at different times, and EGG MUSIC made a mistake in crediting Yoichi for Sorcer Kingdom instead of Koichi. As far as I can tell, that EGG MUSIC credit is the only piece of evidence saying they're the same person besides the name/employment commonalities.
Gonna make a page for Koichi and move the Mao Kusaka alias and other information to it. |
