Kiyoshi Yoshida is a Japanese composer, arranger, and producer best known for blending synthesizer sounds with traditional wadaiko drumming—a combination that's become his signature style.

After studying contemporary and film music at Berklee College of Music in the mid-1980s, Yoshida returned to Japan in 1987 and quickly built a career scoring commercials, TV shows, films, and new age soundtracks. He's worked as both a composer and synthesizer operator across these various projects.
