Her most famous work is Konami's Castlevania, which she composed shortly after graduating from college for the Nintendo Entertainment System. All of the credits for the American were fictional and notably included misspellings of Bela Lugosi and Bram Stoker. The game was called Demon Castle in Japan, and is by far her most critically acclaimed musical work. As of 2006, she is presently an active musician in Osaka, Japan as of 2006 working with primarily Gameboy Advance titles. She produces music on a hybrid Macintosh / Roland Keyboard system and uses a technique called "ramming" to squeeze the music into cart specs, which is described on her site.
Interestingly enough, Kinuyo also dabbled in a cover band. She played American pop covers on the piano and also sings for the duet “Honey Honey” formed with her friend Yoshiko. The name on the album cover is not the last name she’s presently using on the site, so we can assume this was an old project she’s since left behind.

What's amazing is, all these years after Castlevania's release, she still looks very youthful.

I wonder if she has had the chance to meet the AVGN yet, since they both live in New Jersey from what I understand.
ThrashersShogun
Indeed, that's exactly what my reaction was

I love how the composer of the song is sitting there, forgetting how it went, and nobody stops.
Corporal Killjoy
fantastic! my favorite castlevania song performed by the composer herself. how on earth were you able to get her to do this? anyhow, great vid.

Only the composer of some of the greatest game soundtracks of all time!

I couldn't find her age anywhere, but considering the original Castlevania is already 34 years old, and that a composer with such experience in music wouldn't do what she did being less than 20 years old, she must be around 55, which is incredible. I though I was watching a 25 years old student

Wow, really neat. She is one of the best female composers I know of along with Michiru Yamane who the Castlevania: Bloodlines music in 1994. Almost up there with Kate Bush :)
