Yoshitaka Nishimura (born February 9th, 1979 in Nagasaki, Kyushu) is a BEMANI artist who made his debut in 2004's [[AC IIDX RED|beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED]], appearing as one of the sound directors in his debut game alongside veteran [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] and [[Tatsuya Shimizu|Tatsh]]. He is known for his trance/pop tunes, especially the CaptivAte series of songs, and his contributions to the [[jubeat]] series such as [[Evans]] and [[FLOWER]]. He's also been known to sneak in lots of scratching in his songs, including some for [[Osamu Migitera|Des-ROW]]. Yoshitaka was the head beatmania IIDX sound director from [[AC GOLD|beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD]] through [[AC SIRIUS|SIRIUS]], after which [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]] took over. He's only made three original songs in the series since then.

Shortly after he stepped down as sound director following SIRIUS, Yoshitaka was the director and head sound director for KONAMI's then newest BEMANI series [[REFLEC BEAT]] (which, as of [[REFLEC BEAT groovin'!!]], he's also its producer). He composed several songs for both the original game and [[REFLEC BEAT limelight]]. Since then his BEMANI appearances have been rather scarce; most of his appearances in the past few years have been in unlock and cross-game events, or as a vocalist.
