Hiroki Kikuta is one of the more eccentric video game music composers. His discography has not been very long, but it has been punctuated by extremely notable works, especially the music of ''[[Secret of Mana]]''. His early game music work was for [[Square Soft]], but after he left, he branched out into game design, founding the company Sacnoth (later renamed Nautilus) which developed the ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'' series. In addition to game music, Kikuta has also composed some anime soundtracks. While at Sacnoth, Kikuta fiercely resisted [[Executive Meddling]] from ~~publishers -- this~~ earned him something of an [[Auteur License]] reputation, whether or not he actually deserves it.
