Morikazu Aoki [Edit] [Talk]

Morikazu Aoki is a video game sound engineer. He originally worked at Game Freak, where he provided music and sound effects for some Pokémon titles on the Second and Third Pokémon generations. He also designed all the Pokémon cries for Hoenn.

After his work on Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Aoki moved to AlphaDream, where he was mostly in charge of sound engineering on the Mario & Luigi franchise. Following the company's bankruptcy, it is unknown what is his current occupation.

Please note that, while various Pokémon soundtracks credit Morikazu Aoki with the composition of "Pokédex Evaluation... You're on Your Way!", that credit is erroneous as this track originates from Pokémon Red & Green, so the composer is Junichi Masuda instead.
