K-225 is the Kanzenshuu catalogue number assigned to an unreleased piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for Dragon Ball: The Legend of Shenlong. The film premiered at Toei Manga Matsuri on 20 December 1986.

Overview

K-225 is a short piece that introduces Yamcha and Pu'er. Its classification in D Minor is tenuous; the piece is primarily characterized by its use of parallel perfect fourths and minor pentatonic movement, both of which are stereotypically Chinese characteristics. The piece begins with A-D on top of the parallel fourths, and ends with D-A, which would be 5-1 and 1-5 in D minor, respectively.

It is possible that K-225 and K-226 were written as a single composition, but as both were unreleased, and they are never used together after their debut in The Legend of Shenlong, we cannot say for certain. In either case, Kikuchi composed film scores to scene, so K-225 is meant to flow naturally into K-226.

K-225 is given the title "We're In Yamcha's Territory Now!" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant, the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions.
