'''Tadashi Ikegami''' ('''池上正''' ''Ikegami Tadashi'', born February 15, 1968) is a Japanese video game composer who works for [[HAL Laboratory]]. Ikegami is one of HAL Laboratory's veteran composers, along with [[Jun Ishikawa]] and [[Hirokazu Ando]], who have worked on the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. After being involved in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', he has been primarily in a management position; he is credited in the "special thanks" section of most modern ''Kirby'' games. He also plays saxophone, though he usually only does so in bonus arrangements outside of the games.
