Tadashi Kimijima is a Japanese composer and sound designer. He appears to have worked for Taito from around 1985 to around 1991 as a part of their sound team Zuntata, in which he served as a guitarist. He is best known for composing the music to the game Bubble Bobble. He also wrote the music to Fairyland Story, as well as producing the sound effects to the arcade game Arkanoid.

Kimijima also received Special Thanks credits in Arkanoid II and Darius, but it is unclear if he was involved with either of the games' audio.
