Kawai Sprite is an American chiptune composer and electronic music producer best known for creating the original soundtrack for the massively popular indie rhythm game 'Friday Night Funkin''.Fernando Ramírez, operating under the alias Kawai Sprite, gained widespread recognition composing the energetic, character-driven chiptune and electronic music for the viral web game Friday Night Funkin' (FNF). His music became integral to the game's identity and success.

• Kawai Sprite's pseudonym reflects his musical style: 'Kawai' (meaning 'cute' in Japanese) and 'Sprite' (referencing video game sprites).
• He initially gained a following on SoundCloud and Newgrounds before FNF, creating music for smaller games and animations.
• Friday Night Funkin' (released in November 2020) became a massive viral hit, largely propelled by Kawai Sprite's catchy, character-specific tracks like 'Dad Battle' and 'South'. This catapulted him to significant fame within the indie game and online music communities.
• Despite the game's explosive popularity, Kawai Sprite maintained a relatively low public profile, focusing on his music and collaborations.
• He contributed music to the game's major updates and the 'Kickstarter' campaign expansion, solidifying his role as the core composer.
• Beyond FNF, Kawai Sprite has released solo music and collaborated with other artists in the chiptune and electronic scenes, such as his work on the album 'Game Genie'.
