MOTM

I might mention the work of a Japanese friend of mine I met while 
living in Japan in 1988.  Fumitaka Anzai is a film and TV composer who 
got into the business working for Roland soldering circuit boards, and 
won the Roland tape contest in the late 70s.  He went on to create a 
musical scores and has a number of albums available.  A couple of URLs:

  Anz ('anzu' is Japanese for 'apricot' thus his musical pen name of the 
80s 'apricot systematic') has an impressive studio, but perhaps most 
impressive is his ability to perform live.  He enjoys Carlos-style 
classical exercises using synthesizers, and has recorded a number of 
demo reels (see youtube URL).
