 Hinata studied at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin and the Berklee College of Music, Boston. He also studied classical piano, composition and musical theory on a four-year scholarship at the University of Minnesota, Duluuth.
-What makes his BGMs great is that the music fits well with the series' directing and writing. My first experience with his works is his [[Hitotsu yane no shita OST]]. The BGMs are well balancd with the various moments. As an example, in episode 1 of [[Hitotsu yane no shita]], where Koyuki and An-chan talk about her dating an older/married man, Hinata chose to play ''Sweet and Loveable'', a melody that makes you feel more ashamed of Koyuki than Koyuki. You can read more about [[Hitotsu yane no shita OST|Hitotsu]] in my review of the OST.

-Being a Westerner and a musician, I've noticed a distinctive difference between his works and the works of many other composers from Asia, in that the sounds are very Western-like. I figure it is from his many years of study in the United States. His music can also fit in easily with many American movie classics, such as '''Gone with the Wind''' or '''Cassablanca'''. His music is also dateless... I like comparing his works to the '''Sleepless in Seattle''' OST, in that both the Fuji TV dramas and the American movie could have taken place at any time. He's even taken several American tunes and re-worked them into BGMs for dramas. An example is Willie Nelson's ''On the Road Again'', a tune that is played any time [[Imoto Yo]]'s Yukiko and Kukuo are together in a situation.

 Besides writing hundreds of scores throughout his life, he's also an established pianist, recording works under his name. He has worked with many international recording artists, including Misuno Shunsuke, Diana Ross and Bill Wray.

 His personal recordings include ''Sarah's Crame'' (サラの犯罪) (ALCA-9019), ''Chat d'ete'' (夏の猫) (ALCA-9020) and ''Little Rascal '' (いたずら天使) (ALCA-9026). A favorite of mine is ''Sarah's Crime'' (32XA-58), a quiet jazz-like instrumental CD. One of his latest works is a CD containing traditional Hawaiian music called ''Heavenly Resort Music Series HAWAII'' (KSC2-376). In all, he has recorded over 20 CDs and LPs.
-Toshifumi Hinata is certainly a Japanese gem! He's one of the best composers in the entire world.
