Roh Ogura (小倉 朗, Ogura Rō, January 19, 1916 – August 26, 1990) was a Japanese composer and writer.
He was born in Kitakyushu and lived in Tokyo and Kamakura.
First he learned French Modern Music under Shiro Fukai and Tomojiro Ikenouchi.
Then he studied under Joseph Rosenstock about how to conduct Beethoven's symphonies and he became very interested in German classical music and wrote many symphonies that made him end up being called, "Ogurahms".
Finally he broke a new ground and started writing his original music inspired by Japanese traditional folk songs and old nursery rhymes.
