Kunio Miyauchi
| Original Name | 宮内 國郎 |
| Birth Name | Kokuro Miyauchi (宮内 国郎) |
| Born | February 16, 1932 Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan |
| Died | November 27, 2006 (74) Fuchu, Tokyo, Japan |
Miyauchi was inspired to pursue music at a young age after viewing a biography on American composer George Gershwin. He studied trumpet throughout high school, but contracted tuberculosis and was forced to stop performing. He was encouraged to pursue composition instead. Miyauchi began writing for NBS and Fuji TV in the late 50s. He was recommended to Tsuburaya Productions, where he collaborated on their Ultra series, particularly Ultra Q and Ultraman (both 1966).
Miyauchi is primarily known for his jazzy compositions, though in his later years he experimented with synthesized music, and remixed his original Ultraman music in digital form for Ultra Q Dark Fantasy in 2004.
