'''Kazumi Totaka''' (Japanese: 戸高 一生) is a Japanese music composer for [[Nintendo]], and mainly works with [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]]. He has composed the musical score to many games, including ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', ''[[Mario Paint]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'', and many others.

He has composed the musical score to many games, including ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', ''[[Mario Paint]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'', and many others. He created the modern voice of [[Yoshi]], used ever since ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. He has also voiced [[Professor E. Gadd]] since ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Birdo]] since ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. He also voiced [[Shy Guy]] and [[Fly Guy]] until [[Nate Bihldorff]] took over in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', although his voice clips for them are sometimes reused in later ''Yoshi'' games. In addition, he provides the voice of [[Captain Olimar]] starting in ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]''; his voice clips are reused for Olimar's [[Costume Mario|costume]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. <!--It's suspected that he's been replaced for ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', but the only real evidence is that he's not in the credits, which happens a lot for Nintendo staff members who do voices, including ones where we know Totaka's voice was used. We should probably wait until a replacement has been confirmed?--> | ||
