Kikuya is best known for composing original soundtracks for anime series, including most notably Nisekoi, Eromanga Sensei, Bocchi the Rock!, Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs, A Sister's All You Need and Higehiro. He is represented by the music production company POPHOLIC.[1]
Kikuya was born in Tokyo, in 1968. His mother was a piano teacher, so he has had contact with music since an early age. He started his musician career in 1992, when in college, as a member of the rock band Mustang A.K.A., which lasted for two years.[2] Later, he worked as a guitarist in the band Funanori.[3] After that, besides guitar, he learned a wide range of musical instruments.[1]
In 2005, after joining POPHOLIC, Kikuya made his debut as a composer in the anime Tona-Gura!.[4] Since then, he has been active as a songwriter, providing the scores for anime series, as well as elaborating music to artists.[1]
