Junya Nakano (仲野 順也 Nakano Jun'ya) (born February 28, 1971) is a Japanese video game music composer. He has worked for Square Enix Co., Ltd. for over five years.
His notable works include Treasure Conflix (1996), Another Mind (1998), and Dewprism a.k.a. Threads of Fate (1999). He has also collaborated on the soundtracks to Final Fantasy X (2001) (with Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu) and Musashi: Samurai Legend (2005) (with Masashi Hamauzu, and Takayuki Iwai & Yuki Iwai of Wavelink Zeal). Furthermore, he created a small handful of tracks (amidst other composers) for Front Mission: Gun Hazard (1996) and Tobal No. 1 (1996).
Nakano was reported to have left Square Enix after his work on Final Fantasy X to go compose for Asmik Ace Entertainment. However, he is now once again working for Square Enix.
