Reo Nagumo joined KONAMI in February of 1996. He can be considered the grandfather of BEMANI as he was one of the co-creators of [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]] in 1997. He was also the first sound director, the first in-house composer, and did the first title screen music. He's also the only BEMANI composer to sound direct all three beatmania series, as well as write songs for the short-lived [[AC PPP|ParaParaParadise]]. His musical styles are especially focused on rave and pop music, though he dabbled in a few other genres as well.

In October 2000, Reo Nagumo left KONAMI to work for Sony Computer Entertainment as a director. However, he continued to provide tracks as a commission artist until 2006 for beatmania IIDX and 2008 for pop'n music. He also did a remix of [[GRADIUSIC CYBER]] for once-colleague [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]]'s album [[milestone]] in 2007. In 2008, all of his post-[[AC 4th style|4th style]] songs were removed from [[AC EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX]], and the following year so were all of his songs in [[AC DDR X|DanceDanceRevolution]] (and quite a few in [[AC pnm 17|pop'n music]] as well).

It was hinted that he inherited a sushi restaurant (see the [[tiger_yamato#VJ_GYO|music production Info for tiger yamato]]), though this was later proven untrue. Since March 2003, Reo is the CEO of a Japanese company called Yudo Ltd., and wrote music for the WiiWare/iPhone series Aero Revolution.

Currently, Reo also owns and runs the company [http://doyou.love/ DoYou Lab].
