T. Mikumo is the pseudonym of a Japanese composer and sound designer who worked at Human Entertainment. Because he was credited in only a handful of titles, there is little known about him, as well as the games he worked on. He may have done many more titles for Human, but it is currently unclear as most of their games at the time lacked credits. When Human started putting credits in their games on a regular basis, his name stopped being mentioned.

He is perhaps best known as the composer of Monster Party alongside Masaki Hashimoto.

Some speculate that the name may be a possible alias of Tohru Hayashi.

Aliases

In the Japanese prototype of Monster Party, the staff use punny pseudonyms, similar to Castlevania (NES). Mikumo is credited as Freddy Mikumo, a reference to the famous horror villain Freddy Krueger from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. In the North American release, he is credited as Mikumonky.
