Kо̄ichi Sugii (杉井幸一, Sugii Kо̄ichi, 1906 – 1942) was a Japanese bandleader, composer, arranger, conductor, singer, and accordionist who was one of the pioneers of Japanese jazz. His musical arrangements skillfully bridged Eastern and Western styles, combining American orchestral jazz with Japanese pop and Chinese folk music to create a sophisticated and melodic hybrid style which one scholar has deemed, "among the most compellingly original in Japanese prewar and wartime jazz",[1] and another scholar has called "the apex of wartime jazz" in Japan.[2]
