Kosuke Saito

Kosuke Saito (斉藤広祐, Saitō Kōsuke) (born December 17, 1983), is a Japanese DJ and music game composer. He is best known for his work in the Bemani series made by Konami. He has produced music under a number of different aliases, such as kors k, Eagle, StripE, and teranoid.

Career

He was influenced early in his career by Tetsuya Komuro, and began to learn to play the synthesizer. Following the popularity of J-pop remixes, he became interested in club music.^[1]

Beginning with beatmania IIDX 11 RED, Saito started to use the teranoid name. He stated that he did not wish to be restricted to a certain style of music by his identity, so he used other names for different styles of music.^[2][3] Gradually, he revealed that he also used the names StripE and Eagle in recording songs.^[3]
