For me, it's Kojima. You specifically requested developer, that's why Kojima takes the spot. My first video game related celebrities however, are Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda. Musical composition gets my attention more that any other aspect in a video game, besides story.

He's still a developer, it's for that reason I specifically said developer and not designer, programmer, etc. 

@Darth- ::blush:: not a celebrity :-p

I've never actually considered composers as developers. After all, it's possible for many of them to work without ever even laying eyes on the game in question. Referring to them as developers would technically include someone like Harry Gregson-williams simply because he composed for MGS.
