Kazumi Totaka (戸高 一生, Totaka Kazumi), born August 23, 1967, is a video game composer. Totaka has been the sound director for all mainline games in Animal Crossing series, as well as the composer for many of the tracks. He has composed various songs from other Nintendo games, and is known to hide a short melody known as "Totaka's Song" in games he has worked on. This is present in all Animal Crossing games as "K.K. Song".

The character K.K. Slider is a caricature of Totaka, and his Japanese name Totakeke is an abbreviation of "Totaka K.", since family names are written first in Japan. While most of K.K.'s songs in the original games were composed by Toru Minegishi, Totaka rearranged them for the live performances.[1]

Totaka is also known for voicing Yoshi in the Mario series, which he has done since the game Yoshi's Story in 1997.
