Junichi Masuda (Japanese: 増田順一 Masuda Jun'ichi, born January 12, 1968) is a composer, and has composed music for the Pokémon games.
He designed Hoenn, and as such he has been credited with original design in the anime since the Advanced Generation series. More recently, he was the director of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Additionally, he runs a Director's Column (Japanese) on Game Freak's website, with many recent entries translated into English.
The character Pearl's optional name Jun is a possible reference to Masuda, as is the character of Vincent (whose Japanese name is: Jun'ichi) from Johto in the anime.
