Takashi Asahina (朝比奈 隆, Asahina Takashi, 9 July 1908—29 December 2001) was a Japanese conductor. Born in Tokyo, he founded the Kansai Symphonic Orchestra (today the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra) in 1947 and remained its chief conductor until his death in Kobe. Inspired by a meeting with Wilhelm Furtwängler in the 1950s, he began a lifelong attachment to the music of Anton Bruckner, recording the complete Bruckner symphonies several times. For many years he was associated with the North German Radio Orchestra in Hamburg. Towards the end of his life he made several appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
