Kentaro Koyama (小山 健太郎) is a former Sega sound creator. He is best known as the sound director of the Virtual-On series and has also created the music for the first Virtua Cop title as well as both Gunblade NY and L.A. Machineguns. Alien 3: The Gun, which used the same gun controllers as Gunblade NY, is one of Koyama's earliest soundtracks.

Following his involvement with Yakuza 3, Koyama left to join a mobile game developer.[2] He has since worked for Asobimo (e.g. Puchitto! Chronicle -Online-, Toram Online) and XFLAG (e.g. Monster League, Fight League).

Kentaro married in 1998,[3] taking on the surname Kobayashi (小林) and is credited as such from 1998 to 2001, then reverting to Koyama for undisclosed reasons.[4] Whether or not he was married to fellow sound team member Chiho Kobayashi is unknown.
