Is it Hiroo or Hirokazu?

By Oliver Surpless (May 02, 2004)

The great Hip Tanaka? What is his first full name? I ask as Metroid:Sound and Action lists it as Hiroo when the new Kid Icarus/Metroid mp3's from that rare cassettee list in as Hirokazu?

thanks, so Hiroo is just another pen name, if you will?

Well, no it's not.

The listing for it being "Hiroo" was partially my fault. Y'see, at the time I submitted my review for SUPER METROID: SOUND IN ACTION (which is the review that is currently on display here on this site), I was not very experienced in translating the Japanese names. This is why Hirokazu became mistranslated as Hiroo.

I apologize for the confusion.
