Biography

Takanashi was born in Tokyo, in 1963. At the age of 18, he began playing keyboard, later working as the keyboardist for the band Hellen. In 1993, he formed the group Planet Earth with a Hellen's guitarist and others, releasing the album Big Bang in the same year.[3]

In the late 1990s, he joined Musashi Project, a rock band which features traditional Japanese musical instruments. In 2002, alongside Musashi and Toshio Masuda, he made his debut as a composer in the anime series Naruto, writing the track "Sadness and Sorrow".[4]

He is currently the leader of the group Yaiba, which co-composes some of Takanashi's soundtrack works.[5]

Takanashi has received the JASRAC International Award for the soundtrack of Naruto Shippuden five times—in 2013, 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2021.[6][7]
