Kazumi Totaka (戸高 一生, Totaka Kazumi?, born 1967) is a music composer for many major Nintendo games, including Mario Paint and Animal Crossing. He occasionally also does voice acting for Nintendo games, including Yoshi from the Mario and Yoshi series.
The infamous "Kazumi Totaka's Song" is a short, 19 note, looping tune, hidden in almost every game he has worked on as a composer. It was first discovered in Mario Paint, which led many people to refer to it as the "Mario Paint song", and was thought to be the first instance of the song. It has since been discovered in the Japan-only Game Boy game X which predates Mario Paint by months. It was later found in many other games including Animal Crossing, Link's Awakening, Yoshi Touch & Go, Virtual Boy Wario Land, Luigi's Mansion, and several others. As of February 2007, people are still actively seeking the song in the few games Totaka has worked on where it has yet to be discovered; the two most strongly suspected locations are Wave Race 64 and Wii Sports.
His song isn't his only ticket to fame. Totaka is the character K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing. Named Totakeke (とたけけ) in the Japanese version. This name could be derived from how Totaka's name is said in Japanese (the last name coming first), Totaka K. Totakeke is said to be an animal version caricature of Totaka.

Well, to answer your last question.

That's right. Sixth down on that list you will see this man's name. Where will his song be hidden?
The world will never know...
