Shohei Bando is a Japanese composer and sound designer who worked at Hudson Soft. Bando attended the Ehime University from 1995. He joined the company in April 1995 and left in July 2011. During his career at Hudson Soft, he worked on many of the company's popular games series including Tengai Makyo, Bomberman, and even Mario Party, in which he served as the audio director for most of the series.

Though he has received a few music credits, Bando has primarily been credited for sound effects and sound programming. However, as his career progressed, he started to be credited more often as a sound director. He primarily worked on Nintendo's home consoles but would sometimes deviate and work on the Dreamcast and Playstation 2.

Today, Bando currently serves as a sound designer for Studio Sunnyside.
