Revision as of 06:43, 24 February 2021

This page contains a list of all the music used in the original soundtrack (OST) of the Dragon Ball Z anime. Most of the music is composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi. The opening and ending songs, "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA" and "Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power!", are composed by Chiho Kiyo’oka and arranged by Kenji Yamamoto. The composers of insert songs are noted on the episodes where they are used.

The catalogue numbers preceded by letters other than "K" are official catalogue numbers, typically found in booklets accompanying BGM releases. The documentation and scene descriptions are adapted from The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant.^[1]
