Daisuke Ishiwatari



If you ever wanted to aspire to be a living person, Daisuke Ishiwatari might be a good place to start. Renowned for his work on the Guilty Gear video game series, Daisuke himself designed the characters, story and composed the music. Heavily influenced by the "metal" and "rock" genres, Daisuke's music features highly technical guitar playing and rightfully deserves to be recognized as one of the most skilled guitarists of our time.

Aside from the Guilty Gear series, Daisuke also worked on the cult SNES game, The Last Blade, did programming for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, as well as music composition for Hard Corps: Uprising and wrote all the music for BlazBlue and painted the character selection portraits for the sequel.
