Eino Kettunen (May 13, 1894 - August 15, 1964) was a Finnish composer and lyricist. His most popular piece, Ievan Polkka, was popularized when a website named leekspin.com was created. The site shows an endless flash animation loop (from the anime series Bleach) of Orihime Inoue spinning a leek while singing the song.
