By high school, Mitsuda wanted to become a music composer, inspired by Vangelis' Blade Runner and Henry Mancini's The Pink Panther film scores. For a while, he wanted to become a professional golfer. He took piano lessons beginning at the age of five, but was more interested in sports at the time and did not take music seriously, quitting by the age of six. Mitsuda was born in Tokuyama, Japan, on January 21, 1972, and was raised in the Kumage District of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Mitsuda has also worked on anime series, films, and television programs. In 2001, he respectively founded his own music production studio and record company, Procyon Studio and Sleigh Bells. He left the company and became independent in 1998.
Mitsuda went on to compose for several other games at Square, including Xenogears (1998) and Chrono Cross (1999). Shortly after, Sakaguchi assigned him to work on the soundtrack for Chrono Trigger (1995), whose music has since been cited as among the best in video games. Mitsuda joined Square upon graduation in 1992 and worked there as a sound effects designer for two years before telling Square's vice president Hironobu Sakaguchi he would quit unless he could write music for their games. While still a student, he was granted an intern position at the game development studio Wolf Team. Mitsuda began composing music for his own games in high school, later attending a music college in Tokyo.
He is best known for his work in video games, primarily for the Chrono, Xeno, Shadow Hearts, and Inazuma Eleven franchises, among various others. Yasunori Mitsuda ( 光田 康典, Mitsuda Yasunori, born January 21, 1972) is a Japanese composer and musician.
