Job: Hitoshi Sakimoto is one of the most internationally well-known composers I've done one of these sites for. Despite this, his website was part of a budget-like package with that of Masaharu Iwata and Manabu Namiki. Sakimoto has done some of the most critically-acclaimed music in RPGs since the mid-90s, most notably that of Square's Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story. In 2002, he composed the music for Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter, the latest in Capcom's series. In 2004, he's working on what will likely eclipse even those accomplishments, the soundtrack to Final Fantasy XII, which will be his first contribution to the "main" FF series.

For the website, much like Ayako Saso's, I just knew he liked green. So I whipped up something green, made it shiny, and there it was. Ideally, it was to have a forest background texture, and/or forest foreground imagery with a dirt-like backdrop, but time and budget only allowed for so much.
