Shogo Sakai

Shogo Sakai (born 1960) is a longtime composer affiliated with Nintendo. Beginning his career in 1987 at Data East, he would move on to HAL Laboratory in 1996 to work as the composer for EarthBound 64, which was never released. Since then, Sakai has primarily worked on the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. games, as well as Mother 3.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Sakai arranged the Brinstar and Brinstar Depths themes, which were remixes of the Brinstar and Kraid's Lair themes in the original Metroid. These have appeared in every subsequent game in the series. Sakai also arranged the Depth of Brinstar orchestral version of Brinstar Depths for the Smashing... Live! album.
