Hideyuki Fukasawa

Hideyuki Fukasawa (深澤 秀行, Fukasawa Hideyuki) is a Japanese composer. He has often worked with Capcom but is also involved in his freelance composing work. He had a minor role in Onimusha 2 as an assistant sound engineer and programmer to Tarō Iwashiro, the acclaimed music composer of that particular game but it was his work on Chaos Legion, a Capcom Gothic action-adventure third-person fighting game in a similar fashion with the Devil May Cry series released in 2002, that gave him a cult-like status among video gaming fans.

He has recently completed composing and arranging for Street Fighter IV, Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, and the updated versions of both said games, with some tracks arranged from previous games.

Style

Fukasawa utilizes a distinctive style of merging orchestral music with techno, rock, heavy metal and gothic chanting. The beat of his music varies from orchestral to being very disco-like, serious, dark, mysterious and having an intense, exciting action adrenaline-pumping feel.
