Hiroshi Kubota (久保田 浩), born 10 October 1965 in Fukuoka, Japan, is a musician and programmer who worked at Sega in the early to mid 1990s. He was responsible for converting Masato Nakamura's music for playback on the Mega Drive's SMPS sound engine in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as co-composing music for the Mega Drive version of Sorcerian.

Following his work on Ristar, he left Sega and retired. He would later go on to become a jazz pianist. His alias from the Sega days, Jimita, is still used on his personal website.

He should not be confused with Hiroshi Kubota (窪田 宏), coincidentally also a keyboard player.
