The majority of "Dragon Quest" soundtracks are written and orchestrated by the classically trained composer Koichi Sugiyama. In the mid 1980s, Sugiyama, who was already a well-known television and anime composer at the time, sent a feedback questionnaire from an Enix game to the company, and, upon seeing Sugiyama's feedback, Fukushima contacted him to confirm that "he was "the" Sugiyama from television." Upon confirmation, Fukushima asked Sugiyama to compose a score for "Dragon Quest". Sugiyama had previously composed a video game score for "Wingman 2". Sugiyama has said it took him five minutes to compose the original opening theme, and noted the difficulty in adding a personal touch to the short jingles, but that his past experience with creating music for television commercials helped. According to Sugiyama, the composer has between three and five seconds to catch the audience's attention through music. The theme and other jingles for "Dragon Quest" have continued to be used throughout the series.
