One of my favorite animes used to be [Kaiketsu
Zorro](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiketsu_Zorro), and I especially loved
[the opening music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrUFkrTbQ0A) of the
Portuguese version of the cartoon.

My question is, is the music custom made for the anime series, or does it
exist outside the anime?  
If it's an actual piece, what is its name/who is it by?

question
theme-song kaiketsu-zorro
What opening music was played at the beginning of the anime Kaiketsu Zorro?


It looks like the OP of the Portuguese dub of Kaiketsu Zorro is the
instrumental (i.e. no lyrics) version of the [original Japanese
OP](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yc6RPXiftM).

The original Japanese OP was presumably made specifically for the series,
seeing as it is titled "ZORRO" (cf. [the ANN entry for Kaiketsu
Zorro](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1744)). The
piece was sung by [MASAAKI
Endoh](http://myanimelist.net/people/6528/Masaaki_Endoh) (probably better
known for his involvement in [JAM
Project](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAM_Project)); composed and arranged by
[TOBISAWA
Hiromoto](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=10820),
who also did the music for Kaiketsu Zorro; and featured lyrics by [ARIMORI
Satomi](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=8153)
