He is known for his trance/pop tunes, especially the CaptivAte series of songs, and his contributions to the jubeat series such as Evans and FLOWER.

Yoshitaka was the head beatmania IIDX sound director from beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD through SIRIUS, after which L.E.D. took over. He's only made three original songs in the series since then.
Shortly after he stepped down as sound director following SIRIUS, Yoshitaka was the director and head sound director for KONAMI's then newest BEMANI series REFLEC BEAT (which, as of REFLEC BEAT groovin'!!, he's also its producer). He composed several songs for both the original game and REFLEC BEAT limelight. Since then his BEMANI appearances have been rather scarce; most of his appearances in the past few years have been in unlock and cross-game events, or as a vocalist.
Since March 16th 2015, he has been promoted to First Production Lead within KONAMI.
Yoshitaka is currently the producer for the following BEMANI series: beatmania IIDX, pop'n music, SOUND VOLTEX and BeatStream.
Trivia
- Yoshitaka owns a dark brown chihuahua named Daizu, who appears in the video for タシカナモノ.
- As hinted on the song commentary for Vem brincar, he might be allergic to cats.
- He was found by NAOKI. Incidentally, Yoshitaka was the one who scouted out Kanako Hoshino, who performed on many of his earlier vocal songs and premiered in the very same game he did.
- Yoshitaka, along with L.E.D. in tricoro, currently holds the record for the most number of new songs in a single beatmania IIDX style with 7 each in EMPRESS and SIRIUS.
- Yoshitaka is currently the only member of beatnation Records' first team who does not have a solo album.
- It was speculated that he was going to release an album around early 2013 but it turned out to be a joke.
