Hideyuki Fukasawa

is a Japanese composer, best known for his work on the video game Street Fighter IV.

Career Born in Tokyo, Fukasawa began learning piano when he was in elementary school. At the age of 10, he listened to the soundtrack of the anime film Swan Lake, which led him to be influenced by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. When in high school, Fukasawa began playing synthesizer, guitar, bass and drums. In 1991, he started his career as a synthesizer programmer. Since then, he has been involved in many works, mainly composing and arranging music for video game and anime. Fukasawa worked on the 2003 game Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny under lead composer Taro Iwashiro, sampling various traditional Japanese instruments for the soundtrack. His involvement in Onimusha 2 led to him being chosen as composer for Chaos Legion, which released the same year. Fukasawa would later serve as the in-game composer for Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, which released in 2006, with Jamie Christopherson composing for the cutscenes. Fukasawa was influenced by Taro Iwashiro's compositions for Onimusha 2, and sought to create strong and rich melodies. The arranging of old character themes put Fukasawa under pressure, as he was concerned on the arrangements' reception.

Fukasawa served as composer for the anime adaptation of Gnosia, which aired in 2025. Fukasawa listened to the game's original soundtrack a year prior, and was entheusiastic about working on the anime. He aimed to expand the music in his own style while making sure to retain the atmosphere set by the game's score, resulting in a combination of arrangements and original pieces Fukasawa wrote from scratch. He also met original composer Q Flavor during a recording session in spring 2025, and expressed gratitude that Q Flavor warmly received his work.
