Hiroki Kikuta Biography

Hiroki Kikuta is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on August 29, 1962 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

Kikuta was inspired as a child by music from movies. It was not until he got a synthesizer, however, that he began to feel his potential as a composer. Kikuta went on to earn an interdisciplinary degree in Religious Studies, Philosophy, and Cultural Anthropology from Kansai University, which he attended from 1981 to 1984. He never received any form of formal musical training, and instead taught himself by reading music theory books and listening to a wide variety of musical genres.

After graduating from Kansai, Kikuta worked first as a manga illustrator and later as an anime composer. The manga he illustrated, including one titled Raven, were done under the pen name “Yuuki Ni Juu Roku”. As an anime composer, he worked on The Adventure of Robin Hood and The Legend of Snow White. In 1991, Kikuta was hired by Square (now Square Enix), as a composer. After being rejected by his first choice, Nihon Falcom, he applied to Square without expecting to be hired, as they had many applicants for the job and he had never played any of the company’s games. At the interview, however, Nobuo Uematsu was attracted to their shared love of progressive rock, and he was chosen over 100 other applicants. He started off debugging Final Fantasy IV and creating sound effects for Romancing SaGa, as there were not enough game projects in development to open up new jobs for Square’s new hires, but Kikuta was soon given game soundtracks to compose.
