Did you happen to name the character Kitaro Sasaki after the Japanese
musician?

I have over a dozen Kitaro albums. From what you've said about your taste in
music and your choice of composers for B5 and Crusade, you'd probably like
his stuff.

It was one of many influences; Kitaro as a name has a long legacy in many
places, though the musician Kitaro (and yes I do have some of his albums) is
currently the best known.  Sasaki came from a Zen master of that name.
