Tsuneo Imahori, born 1962, is a Japanese guitarist and composer. He started to play acoustic guitar at age 12, inspired by British folk music from the likes of Bert Jansch, and later the work of Frank Zappa and Andy Partridge. In 1986 he formed the band Tipographica, with saxophist Naruyoshi Kikuchi and jazz pianist Akira Minakami. After 4 albums, the group disbanded in 1996.

After providing the soundtrack to Gungrave for the PlayStation 2 in 2002, the concept was subsequently developed into an anime series, also scored by Imahori. In addition to scoring the anime series, Imahori composed the music for Gungrave’s 2004 video game sequel Gungrave: Overdose, also for the PS2. He is perhaps best known in the US as the composer of several anime soundtracks, primarily Trigun, Gungrave and Hajime no Ippo, though he has also contributed tracks to Texhnolyze, Wolf’s Rain, and Cowboy Bebop.

ps, I noticed a song called mushroom hunting.... Now then, for those of you who might understand a celtic soul, does it capture the spirit?

Hey dudes. I'm listening to paradise right now. Are any of the other songs as good? Are there any more with that simple but beautiful acoustic riff? Should I continue to listen, and learn more about this dudes songs? Trigun did it for me but, does this dude go beyond that legacy?
