Kaori Ohkoshi

Born in Japan during 1981, Kaori Ohkoshi was 21 when she first got involved in video game music, having participated in Enterbrain's 5th Video Games Contest in 2002. She won 10,000 yen for submitting 'fine work' for the music section of the contest, although she was not one of the three main winners.

Ohkoshi joined Super Sweep in the same year and worked with Yosuke Yasui and Ayako Saso to produce the score of Akira's scuba diving RPG Everblue 2. Soon after, in early 2003, she collaborated with Saso once more in order to produce the score of Square Enix's Game Boy Advance game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance alongside Hitoshi Sakimoto. This resulted in "Undefeated Heart", "Surpassing the Wall", "Beyond the Wasteland", and "Unavoidable Destiny". One of her tracks arranged for White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

Few 24-year-olds can say that they've helped to compose two popular scores, have collaborated with four of the most prolific composers in video game music, and have worked on the immensely popular Final Fantasy series. Kaori Ohkoshi can and her career has only just started! However, she has now left Super Sweep so it reminds to be seen whether she will reappear in the games industry.
