Sano also scored 'Rare Hero' for Ridge Racer, a series he has composed additional music for since. The following year, he composed the score of Numan Athletics, taking inspiration from techno. Sano's first project was Zombie Castle, which he created the sound effects for. As he felt that the atmosphere of Korg's workplace was stoic and unwelcoming, he settled with a position as a sound designer at Namco. Namco (1992–2001) Īfter graduating from university in 1992, Sano found two jobs for Korg and Namco. During his time at university, he studied telecommunication engineering. The first synth he bought was a Korg MS-10, while he borrowed other synths from friends as he could not afford those.

Prior to joining Namco, he had no inclination towards composing video game music, although he did write music with various synths as a hobby. In elementary school, Sano listened to Yellow Magic Orchestra and played Space Invaders, gaining interest in both video games and music. He is best known for scoring tracks for the Ridge Racer and Tekken series, as well as Drakengard.
