Evan Call

Evan Call is an American composer who works in the Japanese anime, game, film, and TV industries, composing background music for titles like Violet Evergarden and Josee, the Tiger and the Fish. He was born in California on June 29, 1988. A musical child, he played guitar, sang in the school choir, and composed his own orchestral music before enrolling at Berklee College of Music to study film scoring. He moved to Japan after graduation and joined Elements Garden, a group of composers specializing in video game music. Call's unique background allowed him to create symphonic orchestrations, which he included on the soundtracks to Tokyo ESP, Symphogear GX, and Dance with Devils. He frequently collaborated with composers like Junpei Fujita and Hitoshi Fujima during those early years in Japan. After leaving Elements Garden's roster in 2016, he continued to compose for the anime industry. One of his most acclaimed soundtracks was 2018's Violet Evergarden, which led to Call composing music for sequels like 2019's feature film Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll and 2020's Violet Evergarden: The Movie. Despite also writing songs for the live-action film Until I Meet September's Love and TV programs like NHK Special Dinosaur Superworld, anime remained Evan Call's bread and butter, and he spent the next several years focusing on projects like 2021's The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window, 2023's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and 2024's Sengoku Youko. In 2025 was released the Pokémon series album Dragonite and the Special Delivery.
