Sugiyama is the very first video game composer to record his video game music with a live orchestra. That game became something like an orchestral introduction to younger people in Japan. In 1986 he composed for the hit RPG video game Dragon Quest for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Sugiyama started composing with a smaller Japanese home computer called the 'PC-8801', and was working for Enix (now known as Square Enix).

The series main theme, the Overture, was broadcast before hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide as the majority of the song started the opening ceremony's parade of nations, with the final bars of Overture playing at the parade's conclusion when the Olympic motto was projected on the field. Sugiyama's music was immortalized on Friday, July 23rd 2021 during the first day of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games. Because of the incredible length of his career, Suigyama's accomplishments have been officially recognized by the Guinness World record association as the longest lived composer of video game music. Sugiyama worked on the Dragon Quest series for an incredible 35 years, composing over 500 tracks for the games. Kōichi Sugiyama ( すぎやまこういち, Sugiyama Kō'ichi) (his birth name is 椙山浩一, which is pronounced the same) (born Apdied Septem) was the lead composer of the Dragon Quest series, with other works done for Japanese TV shows, such as Space Runaway Ideon, Cyborg 009 and Gatchaman.
