Widely considered second only (or equal) to [[Yoko Kanno]] as an [[Anime]] soundtrack composer, her [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]] sensibilities, [[Reclusive Artist|unusual]] [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|way of]] [[Les Yay|life]], and [[So Cool Its Awesome|undeniable talent]] have invited comparisons to such figures as [[Ennio Morricone]] and [[Ludwig Van Beethoven]]--amazing compliments, considering that she lists her favourite period in music (''modern'' music, anyway) as [[The Eighties]] ([[Nostalgia Filter]] may be at work here considering that she's a member of Gen X) and her favourite artists as including New Order and Depeche Mode.

''[[El Cazador de la Bruja]]'' is notable for having [[Shown Their Work|shown Kajiura's work]] in ethnomusicology and the musical traditions of Latin America and the American West, evoking musicians from Daniel Alomia Robles to [[Johnny Cash]] and Frankie 'Old Leather Lungs' Laine.
