Mamoru Fujisawa (Japanese: 藤澤 守, Hepburn: Fujisawa Mamoru, born December 6, 1950), known professionally as Joe Hisaishi (久石 譲, Hisaishi Jō), is a Japanese composer, conductor, and pianist. Over the course of his career, Hisaishi has received over 70 award nominations and has won 40. Hisaishi was recognized by the Government of Japan with the Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon in 2009, and again in 2023 with the Order of the Rising Sun, 4th Class, Gold Rays with Rosette. For his contributions across his career, Hisaishi was presented the Golden Mulberry Award for Lifetime Achievement at the 2015 Far East Film Festival and the Winsor McCay Award at the 2024 Annie Awards.
Hisaishi began his career creating minimalist and electronic pieces, but he gradually moved to writing for orchestra and creating film scores for directors like Isao Takahata. However, he still occasionally revisited his minimal style, such as his work on Takeshi Kitano's A Scene at the Sea (1991), for which he won Best Music at the Mainichi Film Awards. Hisaishi has since become internationally known for his soundtracks for the films of Hayao Miyazaki, which had started with their collaboration on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984). He went on to score several of the highest-grossing films in Japan, and received a number of awards and nominations for his work on the soundtracks of Studio Ghibli films, including wins at the Annie Awards, Japan Gold Disc Awards, and Mainichi Film Awards for the music of Spirited Away (2001), as well as a nomination for Best Original Score at the Golden Globe Awards for the music of The Boy and the Heron (2023). Hisaishi has also received 16 nominations at the Japan Academy Film Prize in the Outstanding Achievement in Music category between 1991 and 2015, earning the award eight times among them.
