The collective name for Nihon Falcom Corporation's sound production staff, originally founded by Mieko Ishikawa in late-1988. This alias first appeared in Star Trader (as simply "J.D.K."), released in March 1989. The unit got later renamed to "Falcom Sound Team J.D.K." in early 1990, and the "J.D.K." pseudonym got renamed to "jdk" with the release of Revival Xanadu in April 1995.
Since its formation, all composition and arrangement duties in Falcom games has been conducted under the name of "Falcom Sound Team jdk (J.D.K.)". For this reason, although its members are credited in-game, the composer/arranger of each individual track remains officially unknown. In addition to this, all Falcom music composed pre-1989 has been retroactively attributed to the "Sound Team J.D.K./jdk" moniker. Such is the case with Yuzo Koshiro's work.
