Munetaka Yokota (born March 1952) is a distinguished Japanese organ builder, voicer, restorer, researcher, and consultant. He gained prominence as one of three master builders involved in the construction of a unique 32' four-manual Schnitger-style baroque pipe organ at Örgryte Nya Kyrka in Gothenburg, Sweden. At the time, Yokota served as a visiting professor at Gothenburg University, where he was contracted as a researcher and organ designer at the university's GOArt Center. Prior to his time in Sweden, he spent many years training and working in the United States. In September 2015, Yokota returned to Japan to establish Munetaka Yokota Organ Building and Research LLC (横田宗隆オルガン製作研究所), which is based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. He also serves as a part-time lecturer at Tokyo National University of Arts.

Yokota's musical journey began with classical piano lessons during his childhood, but his true passion for European baroque organs emerged in his teenage years after he acquired several LP records. At his parents' urging, he pursued studies in economics at Gakushūin University in Tokyo, graduating in 1974. While still a student, he began an apprenticeship with the pioneering Japanese organ builder Hiroshi Tsuji in the summer of 1972. In 1973, he attended a concert and masterclass by German organist Harald Vogel, who was visiting Japan. After completing his three-year apprenticeship with Tsuji in 1976, Yokota attended Vogel's "North German Organ Academy." In 1978, he moved to the United States, where he continued his training under John Brombaugh in Eugene, Oregon. Eventually relocating to the West Coast, he served as an artist-in-residence at California State University, Chico from 1984 to 1990. During this time, he led the construction of a large organ on campus using the medieval "on-site construction" method, which involved local materials and significant community participation from faculty, students, local craftsmen, and volunteers.

Yokota later returned to Sweden, accepting a guest faculty position at Gothenburg University. He spent six years at Göteborg Organ Art Center, where he played a vital role in the highly publicized reconstruction of massive 17th-century organs originally built by the renowned German master, Arp Schnitger (1648–1719), which were installed in various Hanseatic cities. Under the guidance of Swedish organist Hans Davidsson, Yokota collaborated with head draftsman Henk van Eeken and Mats Arvidsson, who oversaw the overall construction. His team engaged in extensive field and scientific research, developed acoustical designs, and manufactured, voiced, and tuned all organ pipes, employing historical building techniques such as sand-casting pipe metal, a method last used in the 18th century. This international project included contributions from many prominent historians, researchers, expert craftsmen, and organists, including his former tutor, Harald Vogel, as an external advisor, and Swiss organ builder Oskar Metzler Jr. of Metzler Orgelbau, who provided and prepared the oak wood for the project. The Örgryte Nya Kyrka underwent significant renovations, including the addition of a new balcony to support the organ's substantial case. Following the inauguration of the North German Baroque organ in August 2000, Yokota remained at GOArt for over a decade, designing and installing several new instruments, including a Casparini-style organ at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, and another Schnitger replica at Anabel Taylor Chapel, Cornell University.
