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. After being involved in 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.
