Honda's father was a jazz critic, whose name was also Toshiyuki Honda. As a jazz musician, he learned flute and saxophone, and worked in the late 1970s with [[George Otsuka]] and the [[Burning Waves]] ensemble. In the 1980s he worked with [[Chick Corea]], [[Tatsuya Takahashi (saxophonist)|Tatsuya Takahashi]], and [[Kazumi Watanabe]], as well as leading his own ensemble, Super Quartet.<ref>"Toshiyuki Honda". ''[[The New Grove|The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz]]''. 2nd edition, ed. [[Barry Kernfeld]].</ref>
Starting in the late 1980s, Honda turned increasingly toward composing for film and television, as well as working in record producing. He composed the soundtrack for the [[Juzo Itami]] film ''[[A Taxing Woman]]'' in 1987, which raised his prominence as a film scorer. He went on to compose the score for all but one of the rest of Itami's films.
