You might be surprised how many different things get called 'Kagura' in games, so my first instinct is to clear up that the composer can change depending on which 'Kagura' you mean.
If you mean the well-known 'Senran Kagura' series, the music credits differ between entries and often list several contributors — in-house composers, arrangers, and guest performers across OST releases. For an indie or lesser-known title simply called 'Kagura', the soundtrack is frequently handled by a solo composer who might also be the developer. The fastest way I go hunting for the name is checking the in-game credits, the official OST release (Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify), and databases like VGMdb or Discogs which usually list composer credits and album details.
When I'm tracking down a composer I also peek at the Steam or publisher page (they sometimes highlight the composer), and fan communities or Reddit threads often transcribe full credits. Knowing that, you can usually find the exact name within a few minutes, and I love how following those breadcrumbs leads to discovering other music from the same creator — always a fun rabbit hole to fall into.
Thinking about it from a musician’s point of view, pinpointing who composed the soundtrack for something named 'Kagura' requires looking at the edition and release. Japanese releases usually credit composers in the game's ending credits and on any commercial soundtrack CDs; Western releases sometimes bury that info in digital metadata. When I want the composer’s name and style context, I hunt for the OST release and scan the composer and arranger fields — that tells me whether the music was handled by an in-house team, a freelance composer, or a well-known name who did a guest soundtrack.
I also analyze stylistic fingerprints: if the music leans heavily on electronic chiptune, it’s often an indie composer; orchestral or large ensemble pieces can point to studio composers or collaborative production teams. Sites like VGMdb and Discogs are indispensable for confirming real credits and tracking down physical album notes that list composer, arranger, and performer. Once I know the composer, I usually subscribe to their page or follow them on Bandcamp to catch new works — I love tracing a composer’s sonic evolution across titles.
If you asked about who wrote the soundtrack for 'Kagura' but didn’t specify which one, I tend to think broadly: titles with that name range from indie visual novels to larger Japanese franchises. Each will have different credits — sometimes a single composer, sometimes a team. I usually check the official OST listing first; Bandcamp, VGMdb, and the album liner notes are goldmines for composer names, arrangers, and performers. Another trick I use is searching the game’s title plus 'soundtrack' on YouTube or Spotify; the uploader often tags the composer in the description. If the soundtrack was licensed, the publisher’s presskit or the game manual can also have composer info. Bottom line: the composer is almost always explicitly credited, it just takes a little sleuthing to pin down which 'Kagura' we’re talking about—then the music credit is right there, and I get to queue up the OST immediately.
Short and practical: there isn’t a single universal composer for every game called 'Kagura' — the credit depends on the specific title. I always check the in-game credits, the OST listing on Bandcamp/Spotify, or VGMdb for exact composer names. If the game has a published soundtrack CD, the liner notes will give you full composer and arranger credits. For me, finding that name is half the fun because it opens up a bunch of other soundtracks by the same person that I can binge next, which is how I’ve discovered some of my favorite game composers.

Amara Drivas was treated as an outcast by the Crimson moon pack. It's been sixteen years of slavery and humiliation that she endured, thinking it was the right thing to do; to be grateful knowing that she—a half-human and a half-werewolf—was accepted to live with the pack after her human mother died when she gave birth of her. She felt indebted towards the pack to whom her father was loyal, so even though the place turned out to be like hell for her, she obeyed the Alpha and the full bloods. But as she grew older, she found herself questioning the apparent inequality and unjust rules of the higher ranks, including the Alpha.
The night before her seventeenth birthday, a tragedy happened before her eyes. Her father Argus Drivas and the love of her life Killan Montreal, who did nothing but obey the Alpha,were killed by the warrior wolves.
Amara's wrath was kindled. All her life, she thought that shifting into a wolf would be impossible—as most werewolves in the pack have concluded that she was a cursed child, a punishment by the Moon goddess to her parents—but at that unexpected moment, she transformed into a dangerous wolf.
She never felt so powerful until that night she transformed. Rage and vengeance overpowered her that killing became so easy. She killed the warrior wolves in their house and then escaped to a faraway land where werewolves couldn't enter— in Drysdale, the territory of humans.
As she lived in that place, she learned new things that Amara, herself, did not even realize during her stay in the Crimson moon pack for so many years. A realization that she wasn't cursed and the power that has given her by the Moon goddess turned out to be a wonderful blessing.
What else would she figure out?

Man, the soundtrack for 'Shinobi Wars' absolutely slaps! I was obsessed with it for weeks after first hearing it. The composer is actually this legendary figure in game music, Hiroshi Miyagawa—son of the even more legendary Joe Hisaishi collaborator, Kentaro Haneda. Miyagawa's work here blends traditional Japanese instruments like the shamisen with synthy electronic beats, creating this perfect ninja vibe. I love how the boss battle themes make my heart race even when I'm just washing dishes.
What's wild is how underrated his contributions are compared to big names like Nobuo Uematsu. The 'Shinobi Wars' OST deserves way more love—especially tracks like 'Moonlit Shadow,' which I loop while studying. Makes me feel like I’m sneaking through Edo-period rooftops!
