Japanese composer best known for composing music for the Sailor Moon anime series and films. Died in 2005.

Composed multiple Sailor Moon soundtracks (the review cites five series + three movies + one special). The SuperS soundtrack is described in reviews as a standout, drawing on influences named in the review: Nino Rota, Béla Bartók, Johannes Brahms, Duke Ellington/George Gershwin, and Sergei Prokofiev. Review notes death in 2005 due to cancer.

The review praises Takanori Arisawa's soundtrack for Sailor Moon SuperS as his masterpiece. It highlights his use of diverse influences (Rota, Bartók, Brahms, Gershwin, Prokofiev) and rich instrumentation. The OST is presented as transcending typical anime music. The composer died in 2005.

For:fans of anime soundtracks, Sailor Moon fans, film-music listeners

 Of these nine soundtracks, his absolute masterpiece is certainly the one for the fourth series of the sailor-suited heroine, Sailor Moon SuperS (in Italy Sailor Moon and the Mystery of Dreams).
