About
Kinuyo Yamashita composed the music for the original Castlevania (Akumajo Dracula, 1986) for the Famicom Disk System, including the iconic track "Vampire Killer". She was one of the few female composers working on game music in the 1980s. The Castlevania soundtrack is considered one of the finest of the NES era.
