Born in Kyoto. After graduating from the former Third Higher School in 1949, he moved to Tokyo. He studied under Tomojiro Ikenouchi and Akira Ifukube. In 1955, his Introduction and Concertante Allegro won first prize at the Japan Music Competition, marking his debut work. Drawing inspiration from Ikenouchi's French-influenced sonorities, Ifukube's primitivist ostinatos, and an Asian energy, he established a unique compositional style characterized by chromatic ostinatos and the resulting cluster-like sounds. His works include Prelude for Orchestra (68), which received the Otaka Prize; Piano Concerto No. 1 (73); Piano Concerto No. 2 (78); and the opera Silence (93), among others. He also left many excellent works in the fields of film and theatrical music. He served as Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University of the Arts and Visiting Professor at Soai University, among other positions. He received numerous awards, including the Grand Prize of the Kyoto Music Awards and the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette. He passed away in August 2007 at the age of 78.
