Manabu Namiki (並木 学, Namiki Manabu^?, born September 13, 1971) is a Japanese video game composer who works mainly on shooter games. He has worked with game companies such as Allumer, NMK, Raizing (Battle Garegga, Armed Police Batrider) and Cave (DoDonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou, Ketsui). He was also featured on Konami's beatmania IIDX DistorteD CS with a composition entitled "Shoot 'Em all" and was featured on Sega's Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Premium Arrangement with a rearrangement of "The Frenzy Wilds" by Fumie Kumatani. He has also composed music for Metal Slug 6 and Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.

In October 2002, Namiki, Hitoshi Sakimoto, and Masaharu Iwata founded Basiscape. The trio had worked for NMK for sound production under the title "Santarou" before the employment, so he started to assume the handle Santaruru when appearing on the chiptune scene and performed live at the Japan Chiptune Tour 2004. He is currently a composer for Basiscape.
