Tamayo Kawamoto (河本 圭代), also simply known as TAMAYO, is a Japanese video game music composer. During her time at Capcom, she wrote music for games. After leaving Capcom in 1988, she joined Taito and became a member of their in-house band, Zuntata. She later joined up with Japanese singer Cyua to form the group Betta Flash.
According to Kawamoto in an interview, shortly after she left Zuntata, a prior coworker that was still working at Zuntata invited her to a party where they introduced her to the singer Cyua.[6] Kawamoto later joined up with Cyua to form the group Betta Flash, with Kawamoto composing their songs and Cyua being the vocalist.[7][6] Betta Flash's single, Erinyes, is featured as the closing song in the anime Night Wizard.[8] Betta Flash also arranged new songs for the CD set, "Ray'z Music Chronology," which was released in 2017.[6][9]
