A long-time composer for SEGA, Jun has worked for SEGA since 1993, with his first project being ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'', released the following year. Although he's worked on several SEGA titles, including ''METAL HEAD'', ''NASCAR Arcade'', and the ''J.LEAGUE VICTORY GOAL'' series, Jun is best known for his work in the Sonic series. From ''Sonic Adventure'' through ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', he was the main sound director of the Sonic series, and composed music for other entries in the series until 2011's ''Sonic Generations''. After ''Sonic Adventure'' became a success, in 1999 he moved to San Francisco and joined Wave Master, SEGA's then music division, where he continued to compose music until Sonic Team USA closed in 2007. He returned in Japan and continues to do music for the occasional SEGA game, even returning to his old role of sound director of the Sonic series with 2023's ''Sonic Superstars''.
