Shoichiro Hirata is a former KONAMI Computer Entertainment Tokyo employee who joined the company in 1995, contributing music both in and out of BEMANI. He was a frequent contributor to beatmania IIDX and DanceDanceRevolution during his tenure, and also did a few songs for pop'n music. He also worked as a music coordinator for a few CS DanceDanceRevoluion games. His musical style of choice in BEMANI was house and 2-step, with some dabbling of R&B on the occasion.

He's also worked on the Tablier Communications Inc. music label, and composed all of the songs on fellow ex-KONAMI staff member Sanae Shintani's album OLニ〜ニョ.
