Kumi Tanioka was born in Hiroshima, Japan. She studied at the Kobe University. A lover of classical music, she developed her talent as a pianist while listening to Nobuo Uematsu's compositions. After graduating from Kobe University, she joined Square (now Square Enix) as a composer in 1998.
Career
Her first score was the soundtrack to 1998's The Fallen Angels, which she composed along with Masaki Izutani. That same year, she composed her first soundtrack to a game in the Chocobo series, Chocobo's Dungeon 2, along with Yasuhiro Kawakami, Tsuyoshi Sekito, and Kenji Ito. Her second work in the series was also her first solo soundtrack, that of Dice de Chocobo, a video game adaption of a board game. She composed for two other project over the next two years, All Star Pro-Wrestling with Tsuyoshi Sekito and Kenichiro Fukui and Blue Wing Blitz by herself. Her first major composing role came in 2002, when she was one of three composers chosen to write the soundtrack to Final Fantasy XI. Although she did not contribute more than one song to the multiple expansions to the game, during this period she joined The Star Onions, a band made up of Square Enix composers that arranges and performs Final Fantasy XI music. The group has released two albums to date.
After Final Fantasy XI, Tanioka returned to the Chocobo series to arrange her Dice de Chocobo soundtrack for the game's remake, Chocobo Land: A Game of Dice. After that, however, she composed what would become her signature soundtrack and the start of a continual series of games, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Although she would then go on to write the soundtracks to Code Age Commanders: Tsugu Mono Tsuga Reru Mono, Code Age Brawls, and Project Sylpheed, since 2007 she has worked only on the Crystal Chronicles series, composing the music for four out of the game's five sequels and spinoffs. On February 28, 2010 Tanioka announced her departure from Square Enix due to the dissolution of their sound production team; she has since joined the composer's group GE-ON-DAN along with several other Square Enix composers such as Junya Nakano.
