For 15 years, Akira Yamaoka was one of the biggest composers at KONAMI. Getting his start with the company as an additional composer on KONAMI games such as ''Sparkster'' in 1994, Akira really broke out when he became the music composer for the 1999 PlayStation game ''Silent Hill'', which received accolade at the time for its gameplay, and especially its soundtrack. Akira continued to compose for all later games in the franchise, becoming so synonymous with the franchise that he even became its producer in later years. He continued to compose for the series up to the 2009 game ''Silent Hill: Shattered Memories'', which was released right before his departure from KONAMI. Akira also worked on the soundtracks to ''SHIN Contra'', the third game in the ''Winning Eleven'' series, the ''RUMBLE ROSES'' series and ''OTOMEDIUS G''. | For 15 years, Akira Yamaoka was one of the biggest composers at KONAMI.
