Yasunori Mitsuda (光田 康典 Mitsuda Yasunori, born January 21, 1972) is a Japanese composer and musician best known for his soundtracks for various video games.

Mitsuda was born in Tokuyama, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, and raised in Kumage. As a child, he took piano lessons, but he was more interested in sports and so never took music seriously. He also took to computers at an early age, and he taught himself to program simple songs and games. After a brief infatuation with golf, Mitsuda rediscovered music in high school, inspired by the scores of movies such as Blade Runner and by the works of composers such as Henry Mancini.
