Hirokazu Ando (born March 2, 1969) is a long-time composer at HAL Laboratory, mostly notorious for his work on the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. series.

History[]

Ando originally joined HAL in 1991. His first work for the Kirby franchise was handling the soundtrack for Kirby's Adventure[1], writing many iconic level tracks that would later be referenced throughout the Kirby series. Afterwards he composed for Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby's Dream Land 2 (along with fellow composer Tadashi Ikegami), the Game Boy version of Kirby's Star Stacker and the cutscenes for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

In the original Super Smash Bros., Ando handled the game's original music as well as all of the stage music, which featured arrangements of some of Nintendo's legacy music for franchises like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and others. For Super Smash Bros. Melee he shared arrangement duties with other composers like Shogo Sakai, although Ando still composed tracks like the iconic menu theme.

Over the years, Ando has effectively become the main composer for the Kirby franchise, handling the majority of the main themes ever since Kirby's Return to Dream Land; however, he still has been joined by fellow long-time Kirby composer Jun Ishikawa and other composers through the years.

Ando is characterized for his use of orchestral elements in many of his tracks, as well as some occasional live instrumentation.
