Profile

Takehiko Fujii is one of the most recognized artists from early beatmania and beatmania IIDX games, initially creating charts for the early beatmania games, but later contributing with songs and serving as a sound director for both series (in the case of beatmania IIDX, he was for 9th style and 10th style). Takehiko left KONAMI in 2004, though continued to occasionally appear in BEMANI games/CD's since. He currently owns iNViSiBLE Co., Ltd. (株式会社インビジブル)

His music is mostly techno, but he sometimes composes trance, drum'n'bass, electronica and R&B. His much more occidental approach to electronic music than other in-game artists had make him quite popular within the non-Japanese BEMANI fanbase.

Trivia

• Takehiko's manager was Tomoyuki Uchida, aka Mr.T.
• Takehiko currently contributes new songs for CAPCOM's CROSS×BEATS series.
