Tatsuya Nishimura was a Japanese composer and sound creator. Barely anything is known about him besides the companies he worked for. His name first appeared in games developed by Tose near the end of their NES development, with his first known title being Bases Loaded 3. He mainly composed for their NES and SNES games. Though he didn't work with them at the company, Nishimura was good friends with other TOSE composers Mitsuhiko Takano and Shinji Amagishi. Around 1992, he left TOSE to work for Capcom (though we have been told by Mitsuhiko Takano he left in 1993). Around 1995, he joined Jaleco in-house as a composer (the Bases Loaded series were only published by Jaleco).
Tatsuya was mainly credited for creating sound effects, but also wrote the soundtracks for some of the games he worked on. Because of his alias in Bases Loaded 3 and his quotation in Bases Loaded 4, it seems that his music was heavily influenced by funk and soul music, though his music shows elements of rock as well.
Tatsuya left the game industry around 2002.

Music Development
NES
Tatsuya used the NES sound driver at TOSE. The music was written in assembly on a computer. However, Tatsuya probably sequenced his music prior to writing it first.
SNES
For his work with TOSE, he used their variant of Nintendo's Kankichi-kun software.
At Capcom, he used the company's sound driver which was programmed by Yoshihiro Sakaguchi and Yasushi Ikeda. According to Yasuaki Fujita, Tatsuya provided all of the sound effects and instruments.

Aliases
Bases Loaded 3
In the Japanese version of Bases Loaded 3, he is credited as God of Soul, but the North American changes his name to Music Lover. This was most likely due to Nintendo of America's censorship for religious references. Though no TOSE staff have identified these aliases as Tatsuya's, he is credited by his first name in the Japanese version of Bases Loaded 4, which shares the same exact soundtrack as Bases Loaded 3. In Bases Loaded 4, he expresses his passion for funk music, which lines up with the God of Soul name.
He was usually credited as Ani (among variants of the name), mainly during his time with Capcom, but the etymology of the name is unknown.
