'''''Naoki Kodaka''''' was one of the main composers at SunSoft of Japan. Most of his NES soundtracks consist of digitized music because it uses a FM Synthesis sound using the DPCM (Delta Pulse Code Modulation) channel. His NES music also was usually assisted with another game musician [[Nobuyuki Hara]] and sometimes [[Shinichi Seya]]. He also made a DVD titled "Mushi Mushi no Shi: Rainforest Story".

'''''Naoki Kodaka''''' is a Japanese composer who was one of the main audio creators at [[Sunsoft]] and created music for their NES and Famicom titles since the company started making them. He has been responsible for the creation of many catchy and memorable soundtracks such as Blaster Master, Fester's Quest, Revenge of the Joker and many others. He first started off working on game soundtracks at Sunsoft by himself. Later in his career, he created soundtracks with [[Nobuyuki Hara]] and [[Shinichi Seya]], along with other composers. He also made a DVD titled "Mushi Mushi no Shi: Rainforest Story".

Currently he is a full time university teacher at the Nagoya College Of Music.
In Nantettatte!! Baseball, he is credited as "Kodaka Naoki and Guys", so there were probably more composers involved with that game's soundtrack.

Kodaka would write either sheet music or would send tape recordings of his compositions to Sunsoft, which were then converted into the game to code by their sound team.
