Japanese composer with a handful of game credits, but I don't think those credits establish notability. It's a well formatted article but I really can't find anything on this guy. The only noteworthy claim is that he was on the "most collaborated soundtrack" by Square, which if you think about it, is kind of a spurious superlative. JP Wikipedia isn't a help either.

Delete. Composer working on notable games doesn't make composer notable. Most sources are first-party, GameSpot is technical info. --Soetermans. T / C 21:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - yeah, it's a credits list; the prose is pretty much the credit list again, but with some citations that only prove that he worked on said games. There's nothing in there about Kawakami himself, beyond that he worked at company X doing games Y-Z. Most collaborated soundtrack by Square isn't saying much, since the successor company Square Enix has had games with twice as many composers only a few years later. --Pres N 21:58, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- Let's all say it together now, "Notability is not Inherited". The work itself is notable, but he is not. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:23, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete perhaps abd draft & userfy instead as this article is still questionable for an article. SwisterTwister talk 22:45, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
