He is best known for his work on the SaGa series. In 2001 he left Square Enix to become a freelance artist, but has since continued to collaborate with the company.
Born 5 July 1968 in Tokyo, Ito became interested in music at the early age of 4. By the time he began composing at the age of 10, he had learned to play alto saxophone, clarinet, and piano. During March 1990, Ito was recruited by Square.
His first project was a co-effort between himself and Nobuo Uematsu for the Game Boy title, Final Fantasy Legend II (SaGa 2). Shortly after in 1991, he composed the complete soundtrack for Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu), another Game Boy title. Beginning in 1992, Ito would have the Super Nintendo's 8 channel sound chip to rely on as he began composing music for the SaGa trilogy. This includes all of the music for Romancing SaGa 1, 2, and 3, as well as SaGa Frontier (a PlayStation title).
1997 marks the beginning of several smaller contributions to video game music made by Ito. Two tracks were contributed to Tobal No. 1, as well as the opening and closing themes of Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon. An original vocal track along with some arrangements of Nobuo Uematsu's older works were made by Ito in 1999 for Chocobo Racing. He left Square in 2001 to become a freelance composer. Shortly after, he composed his magnum opus for the dreamcast title, Culdcept II, along with various other works for Dark Chronicle Premium Arrange and Shadow Hearts II.
In 2002, Ito announced that he'd received work from Square again, updating his compositions for Final Fantasy Adventure for its remake on the Game Boy Advance, Sword of Mana. Ito's recent works with Square Enix include the latest SaGa title, Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song-, and Hanjuku Hero 4 ~The 7 Heroes~., as well as upcoming Seiken Densetsu DS: Children of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 4.

This game is wonderful... one of the best games ever made con the GBA, it's a must have
SnesRulez - My Game World
I had it sometimes especially with flying enemies. And a great childhood game! Have you ever tried Seiken Densetsu 3? It's the third game in the series and in my opinion the best overall from the ones I've played.. Unfortunately is only in japan which means you have to find an translated rom for an emulator or a bootleg

Done it! XD This is one of my favourite series ever u.u Anyway i really like the original but has a lot of problems with the hit detection and your life drains really fast which makes it a little annoying in some places

I'm simply blown away at how simple yet elegant this song sounds. Thanks a lot for uploading this! It was a pleasant surprise discovering this...I do hope this video gets a few more hits since it's a great song most people don't know of.

I would love to learn this on the piano! :O It's so beautiful and soothing yet gloomy at the same.

it's not that hard to learn. I learned to play it by ear from listening to this exact piece of music.

It feels as if I've been abandoned. A beautiful, melancholy piece that brings tears to the eyes. Makes you remember the pain that you've suffered. Makes you young, then age, then young again.

This is the perfect sound for a rainy day. The perfect track for a lonely heart,such as mine, one would say....

Its sad you can only enjoy stories told by swearing,the dialogue truly shows the age they are in and not some future themed spin off.Its pure and good and its pitiful how much people think its too sticky sweet,because anything that close to the heart will be.You have to let your guard down and that is where your strength comes from,not how much blood you can spill without a wince of feeling.BE HUMAN.Gameplay is good,not for beginners.But lets be honest,its the story of love from many views.
