Mamoru Samuragochi (佐村河内 守, Samuragōchi Mamoru; born 21 September 1963) is a Japanese composer from Hiroshima Prefecture who falsely stated that he was totally deaf. He said throughout his career that he was deaf which led to foreign media dubbing him a "digital-age Beethoven". He was also the name credited for the video games Resident Evil: Director's Cut Dual Shock Ver. (1998) and Onimusha: Warlords (2001). Read more on Wikipedia
