Mamoru Samuragochi

Mamoru Samuragochi (佐村河内 守, born 21 September 1963) is a Japanese composer from Hiroshima Prefecture who falsely claimed that he was totally deaf.

He was the name credited for the video games 'Resident Evil: Dual Shock Ver.' and 'Onimusha: Warlords'. He said throughout his career that he was deaf which led to foreign media dubbing him a "digital-age Beethoven". In February 2014, it was revealed that most of the work attributed to him over the previous 18 years had been written by Takashi Niigaki.
