Shunsuke Kikuchi catalogue

This is a full catalogue of Shinsuke Kikuchi's Dragon Ball background music (BGM) compositions. The catalogue is modeled after scholarly catalogues of the music of classical composers, such as the Köchel (K) catalogue for the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV) catalogue for the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Our catalogue is limited to Kikuchi's Dragon Ball works and should therefore be relatively straightforward.

We have decided to use K for our Kikuchi catalogue, not only because it is the first consonant of the composer's family name, but also because the work for this catalogue was originally done by a fan called kenisu and then expanded at Kanzenshuu. The letter K was never used for official catalogue numbers.

The tracks are ordered according to their appearance in the series, movies, and disc releases, whichever comes first. The suite titles are official, but they are not individual piece titles: suites contain multiple BGM pieces, which have the same track number. When there is no official catalogue number, the K number is substituted and links to the track's page.

Musical keys are given when possible, even if the piece ends on a dominant or other transitive tonality. When it is not possible to deduce the key, the final tonality is given in the form of a chord.
