Minako Hamano (濱野 美奈子) is a Japanese video game composer who is currently working for Nintendo. Hamano is the longest employed among female composers currently employed at Nintendo.[citation needed] She often contributes music to several games of the Super Mario and Metroid franchises in collaboration with other composers, such as Kenji Yamamoto and Masaru Tajima. She also composed for the Brain Age series, including Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!, which introduces a Dr. Mario-like "Virus Buster" mode with arrangements of that game's level themes, "Fever" and "Chill".
