Yoko Kanno

Yōko Kanno (菅野 よう子 Kanno Yōko) is a famous composer known for her work in anime titles such as Macross Plus, The Vision of Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop, Turn-A Gundam, Rahxephon, Wolf's Rain, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and others.

She also has created game music for Koei. Some of her most famous music pieces are "Tank! (Cowboy Bebop theme)", "Voices (Macross Plus)", "Dance of Curse (Escaflowne)", "Gravity (Wolf's Rain)", and "Rush (Cowboy Bebop)." She was the lead member of a band called The Seatbelts, which was formed for the sole purpose of making the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.

There is some speculation that one of her frequently hired vocalists, Gabriela Robin, is Kanno herself under a pseudonym.
