Everything I've read seems to indicate a single composer rather than a unit. Anyone have a real name?

Did Edison arranged some some '80 anime songs under his variation name 渡辺敬之? Note he was born as Takayoshi (渡邉孝好), but his site give also 渡辺敬之 as variation name.
His site don't mention any relation with these songs from what I see, according anison.info yes, they are his works.
But according this Victor album "瞳でウィスパリング" (catalogue JBX-25073) released at the same time of various anime singles which he should have worked, gives arranger and pianist as "Takayuki" instead of "Takayoshi". Also Tokuma / Japan Records in this album gives "Takayuki" as keyboardist and the list is long according those works. Also Takayuki appears as producer in some Columbia albums.
Could it be another artist?

Got a reply directly by mail from Mr. Edison, he was really the composer for Minky Momo tracks and "Takayoshi" is the correct reading also for his 敬之 alias. So labels on JBX-25073 and the Tokuma added a wrong spelling. CASE SOLVED
