Which producer is listed first in Rhythm Heaven Groove's Wikipedia infobox?

Kouichi Kawamoto is listed first among Rhythm Heaven Groove’s producers. The game’s Wikipedia infobox names Kawamoto before Takayuki Shimamura, Yoshikazu Yamashita, and Tsunku.

Infobox ordering matters here because the question asks who is listed first, not who is the sole producer or necessarily the project’s most prominent creative figure. The stored answer matches that exact credit order. The article separately identifies Kazuyoshi Osawa as director, so he is not the answer to this producer-specific question.

Kawamoto’s credit also belongs to a larger production team spanning Nintendo and longtime Rhythm Heaven contributors. Tsunku is associated with the series’ music and creative identity, while Groove’s development involved Nintendo EPD and additional collaborators.

Readers may also confuse producer and director credits because game infoboxes place them near one another. Groove’s listing keeps the roles separate: Osawa is director, while Kawamoto heads the producer list.
