Tenmon (天門?), born Atsushi Shirakawa (白川 篤史 Shirakawa Atsushi?), is a Japanese music composer from Tokyo, Japan born in 1971. He worked in the Nihon Falcom Corporation as one of the members of Falcom Sound Team J.D.K.. During his time with Falcom, he has composed much music for Falcom games, most notably Brandish.
