BEMANI Staff Tenure

BEMANI Staff Tenure

In the past 20+ years, there have many contributors to KONAMI's long line of BEMANI game titles. Some have been with the company for years, while others only stayed for a short period of time.

Two notes about this list:

1.) This list only includes in-house KONAMI staff, and only counts the time they worked at the company on BEMANI, NOT at KONAMI in general. Any time they've worked freelance/commissioned is not listed on here.
2.) This list only counts the years with which they were active, and counts off/skips years when they did not participate in BEMANI.
