Her iconic works are usually jazz or orchestral based but she's also known for going to electronic, blues, folk, pop and art rock. Also works for various movies, commercials, dramas, and as a singular music producer. She's also the owner of the jazz ensemble: The Seatbelts which was created solely for the Cowboy Bebop OST. The name "Seatbelts" coming from the need to wear seatbelts they had to wear while recording their sessions, which is an indicator of how grandiose her music can sound.

All you really need to know is that he is, for my money, the greatest guitar player in the anime industry. Known for his twangy, harsh guitar tones, that makes Trigun abundantly clear of its dry, desolate wasteland before you even see an image of it's setting. Highly percussive drums, bass, and guitars blaring in Hajime no Ippo draws you into the action as each strike is timed perfectly to the beat. Not to say he only does percussion, he also does analog surprisingly well. Sometimes mixing harsh noises and synth tones to create an unsettling feeling in Gungrave.

Works:
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Gungrave
Hajime no Ippo

The music produced is almost always the best part. Blaring and sometimes over-the-top techno/rock music is all over his track record. From his work on Blumenkranz in Kill la Kill to Reluctant Heroes in Attack On Titan to Seven Deadly Sins Celtic OST, he's always trying something he hasn't done before and always finds a way to master it.
