Hideki Togi (東儀 秀樹, Tōgi Hideki, born 12 October 1959, in Tokyo)[1] is a Japanese composer, gagaku musician, and actor. His current label is Universal Music (transferred from Toshiba-EMI in 2007). Tōgi joined the Imperial Music Division in 1986 but had to quit in 2000 because of the hostile reaction to his popular compositions from fellow gagaku musicians.[2]
