K-90 is the Kanzenshuu catalogue number assigned to an unreleased piece of background music (BGM) arranged by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball anime in 1986. The piece debuted in Dragon Ball Episode 10 which was broadcast on 30 April 1986.

Overview

K-90 is a simple arrangement of the famous opening notes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 (originally in C Minor). Since nothing was changed other than the key, the are only a few facts suggesting that the piece was personally arranged by Kikuchi:

• The piece is transposed to the arc's main key of F minor;
• The instrumentation and performance are consistent with Kikuchi's studio musicians;
• This is one of three well-known pieces arranged by Kikuchi for episode 10, and his arrangement of the Jaws theme (K-94) has his compositional marks all over it.

The piece is given the title "Beethoven's Fifth?!" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant, the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions.
