Hitoshi Sakimoto (崎元 仁) is a video game music composer.
He was born in 1969, and worked freelance from 1990. In 1997, Sakimoto joined Square Co., Ltd.. When he was an amateur doing his first steps in music, he used to write his name as "YmoH.S". After completing his work on the action/RPG hybrid title Vagrant Story, he resigned from Square and once again became a freelance musician. He went on to establish Basiscape, an independent provider of audio and music for video games and other media.
As the founder of Basiscape Co., Ltd, Sakimoto has since been composing regularly for a variety of games as well as some commissions for various independent companies. He is currently working on Square's upcoming twelfth chapter in its central franchise, Final Fantasy XII, as well as the upcoming MMORPG Fantasy Earth: The Ring of Dominion.
