His real name is Masanori Takahashi (Kitarō is a stage name that means "happy"). He was born in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan and is a graduate of Toyohashi Commercial High School. After graduating, Kitaro moved to Tokyo to experience and become a part of the music scene, and it was there that he discovered the synthesizer. His first synthesizer was analog, and he recalls having “just loved the analog sound that it made compared to today's digital sound”.
His parents were first opposed to the idea of their son having a musical career. In an effort to maneuver him towards their vision, they made arrangements for him to take a job at a local company. In return, he left home without telling them. He supported himself by taking on several part time jobs such as cooking and civil service work, while composing songs at night.
In the early 1970s, he changed completely to keyboards. He joined the Japanese music group Far East Family Band which was formed in 1965, and toured with them around the world. While in Europe, he met the German electronica and former Tangerine Dream member Klaus Schulze. Schulze produced two albums for the band and gave Kitaro some tips for controlling synthesizers. In 1976, Kitaro left Far East Family Band and travelled through Asia (China, Laos, Thailand, India)
Universally acknowledged as the founding architect of new age music, Kitaro has achieved global acclaim over a more than three decade long career with a signature sound and a pioneering fusion of cultures, techniques and spheres of consciousness.
As a Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning artist, this incredibly prolific composer and performer has continued his reign in the international spotlight and at the forefront of musical innovation ever since his critically acclaimed soundtrack to the Japanese NHK documentary, Silk Road.
Most fundamentally, at its heart, Kitaro's music is always about sending a profound message of peace that has inspired countless fans from around the globe. Kitaro's latest album release, "Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai Volume 4" was nominated at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, his 14th career nomination to date.

I will NEVER forget this album or the movie Heaven and Earth. I was deting my husband and earth, and we were watching this moving together. We were really lost souls and this movie was our first date. It was soooo impactful. He was an immigrant and alone with no family. I was divorced and very alone. He asked me to marry him that week. We NEVER lookd back or at anyone else. We have solidly bonded for 24 years. He was on UTube and he called me from our room and said, "honey, listen, do you remember this?" The first note brought me a flood of tears and his eyes glistened. Love and music is so moving. This will be our song and album till we die. We both have survived great tragedy and loss and we cling together with God's help. I have absolutely no regrets, is my soul mate in life's storms and I am wife. Thank you for sharing this.
@FekreJadid
God bless you.
All of us are from that great holly soul. There's no difference between us and God. There is only one holly great soul something inside all of us that named God.

Love!
@peterg7480
Yes- you have to see the movie to appreciate how this great music fits in with telling of the story. I am an Aussie Vietnam Veteran and can close my eyes, listen to the music and can indeed be between "Heaven and Earth"!
@kathyfino7430
Some people compose from the heart. This man composes from the soul. Thank you for your music.
@MrKennytrcka
The sublime introduction of this musical piece, before the orchestra starts to play, is so beautifully heartbreaking. It perfectly reflects all of the great suffering and pain people went through in countries of South East Asia like Vietnam and Cambodia in the 60's and 70's. It always brings tears to my eyes.
@richardsequeirateixeira
Yes, especially since the Indochina Wars have devastated these countries.

I fell in love with Kitaro over 20 years ago and have remained so to this day. I will be forever grateful to a friend of mine for introducing him to me.
Kitaro plays the strings of my Soul!
