Toshihiko Horiyama (堀山 俊彦 Horiyama Toshihiko) is a Japanese video game music composer and sound designer at Capcom who is probably best known for his work on the Mega Man X series. In his earlier works he was normally credited as "Kirry", "Krsk", or "Kirikiri".
Horiyama worked on the music for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice, and was the sound director for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice. For Spirit of Justice, he mainly composed tracks related to the main setting ("Los Angeles" as opposed to Khura'in). He works on his music only at the office, finding the home environment too distracting.[1]
