Takeharu Kunimoto

Artist

A performer celebrated for a distinctive style that fused shamisen and rokyoku narration with a modern sensibility. On Kuma no Pu Taro he created the opening 'Taitai Zukushi' and the ending 'Genki o Dashite Bushi,' weaving the cadence of traditional storytelling into a one-of-a-kind anime sound. With nimble phrasing and a powerful voice, he stamped a fierce personality onto this surreal gag series.
