It's a combination of Bernard Herrmann and Hans Zimmer. Iwasaki has two main types of orchestral music- that slow strings piece and the very ostinato-heavy power anthem. Iwasaki's wistful slow music is very Herrmann inspired, while his action music is Zimmeresque.

Herrmann and Iwasaki:

Do I really need to link the Zimmer examples? You should know what his music sounds like by now.

That being said, Iwasaki's orchestral range is so broad that he can do any type of style, whether it's the Barry/Mancini style for ROD or Williams brass for Yakitate Japan, but Zimmer and Herrmann form his roots. Like Herrmann and occasionally Zimmer, Iwasaki is also very experimental when it comes to orchestration and sound design, so it's no surprise he would follow their footsteps.
