Atsuko Iwanaga (better known as Ako Matsudaira) is a Japanese composer. She attended the Kunatachi College of Music and graduated in 1984. She started her video game music career working for Coreland Technologies, composing for some of their arcade games. She later moved on to Arc System Works and worked with Junya Kozakai on some of their Famicom titles.
Iwanaga is the wife of game designer Kenichi Iwanaga who founded Minato Giken. As a result, she also scored several games for the company, but was usually credited as a sound programmer. She appears to have left the games industry after Minato Giken folded in 1997.
