He is a former member of the anime planning and production company Madhouse. In addition to working as a key animator on various works, he has also contributed as a storyboard artist, director, and animation director. <br \/> Here are some of the notable works he has contributed to: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u300eRevolutionary Girl Utena\u300f(1997)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eCardcaptor Sakura\u300f(1998-2000)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eCowboy Bebop\u300f(1998-1999)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eGalaxy Angel\u300f(Entire series)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eFullmetal Alchemist\u300f(Entire series)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eDEATH NOTE\u300f(2006-2007)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eSoul Eater\u300f(2008-2009)<\/li>\n<li>\u300eMy Hero Academia\u300f(from season 2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> It seems that he is often uncredited in the end rolls of the works he participated in.

elements in this work, which differs significantly from the traditional Godzilla series.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe scene where the camera pans 360 degrees around a character from a computer screen is impressive.<br \/>\nBut personally, the scene where a character slightly looks up while their glasses slip after waking up really stands out to me.<br \/>\nSure, when your glasses are out of place,
