Hiroshi Kawaguchi

Hiroshi Kawaguchi (川口博史) is among the oldest of the Sega sound team members and one of the few still active today. His most lastly contribution to the video game industry is the soundtrack to the original OutRun, whose four tracks have been remade by others (including himself) time and time again. He was also known as Hiro and Hiroshi Miyauchi (宮内博史).
