Hajime Wakai

Hajime Wakai (若井 淑 Wakai Hajime) is one of the various composers of music in the Star Fox series. His first composition was for Star Fox 64, where he handled the in-game level and boss themes. Wakai's incidental leitmotifs created for Star Fox 64 have since then become staple musical tunes throughout the Star Fox games that followed, including the Star Fox team's leitmotif. He was given special thanks during the end credits of Star Fox Adventures.
