Mysterious Leopard Print Man Identified!

After some embarassing guesses like Beat Takeshi and Takeshi Miike, it appears the mysterious Leopard Print Man has been identified and he is, apparently, Itou Ashura Benimaru, another Nintendo musician with a flairish penchant for pulling off improbable fashion statements. According to Mobygames, he appears to have done the soundtracks for Super Smash Bros. and Earthbound. And we even have a 2 hour video clip of him hosting Mario & Zelda Live for you guys to enjoy. Embarassingly, we've posted this video before, but didn't recognize him despite all that. Thanks to Chris S. for his sleuthing!
