Nobuo Uematsu (born 21 March 1959) is a Japanese composer and keyboardist best known for his contributions to the Final Fantasy video game series by Square Enix. A self-taught musician, he joined Square in 1986, where he first met Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi; the two later worked together on many games at the company. Uematsu left Square Enix in 2004 and formed his own production company and music label, Dog Ear Records. He has since composed music as a freelancer for games and anime. Many soundtracks and arranged albums of Uematsu's game scores have been released.
