Composer / Conductor of Classical
A.k.a. 山田 耕筰
Kosaku Yamada (山田 耕筰 Yamada Kōsaku, 9 June 1886 – 29 December 1965) was a Japanese composer and conductor.In many Western reference books his name is given as Kôsçak Yamada. During his music study in the Imperial German capital of Berlin from 1910-13 he hated the times when people laughed at him because his "normal" transliteration of his first name "Kosaku" sounded like the Italian "cosa" meaning "what" or "thing" + the German "Kuh" meaning "cow"; which resulted in his choosing a somewhat fanciful transliteration of Kôsçak Yamada ever since. Yamada was born and died in Tokyo.
