Taisuke Kimura (Tai) is a Los Angeles-based composer for film and television, known for creating emotionally grounded, cinematic scores that bridge Hollywood storytelling with authentic Japanese, world-music, and orchestral sound worlds. With over a decade of professional experience, his work spans studio films, streaming series, games, live events, documentaries, and award-recognized independent projects.
His credits include music for projects associated with Netflix, Disney+ / Marvel Studios, Apple TV+, and Sony Pictures, with highlights such as Control (Hollywood Music in Media Awards 2023 nomination alongside Michael Giacchino), Marvel Studios: Legends (Disney+), Palm Royale (Apple TV+, additional arrangement), Fortnite (boss-stage music), Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles (Netflix), and Missing (Stage 6 Films / Sony Pictures). His music is often sought for stories and projects that require cultural nuance, emotional clarity, and cinematic scale across multiple mediums.
Beyond screen work, Kimura has also contributed large-scale orchestral arrangements for live events in Japan, including the Rizin Fighting Federation, creating orchestral music for fighters such as Kyoji Horiguchi, Tenshin Nasukawa, and Mirko Cro Cop-further reflecting his versatility across cinematic, interactive, and live performance contexts.
In addition to his composing work, Kimura is the founder of Tokyo Sound Link, a Japan-based orchestral and traditional-instrument recording platform that connects international productions with elite Japanese musicians. Operating largely behind the scenes, the platform reflects his broader creative philosophy: uniting authenticity, craftsmanship, and modern global production at the highest professional level.
