Something of a protégé of Yoshiaki Kawajiri,[1] he was also influenced by Yoshinori Kanada,[2] Frank Miller,[3][4] Mike Mignola,[3] and Katsuhito Ishii.[1] He went straight from a high school education to beginning his career at Madhouse as an in-betweener on works directed by Kawajiri after being interviewed by him.[5] His first professional work as director is the title sequence of the 2000 film Party 7; while his first feature film is Redline, which premiered in 2009 and was released in 2010. He served as character designer and animation director for 2012's Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine,[6] and directs film continuations of it starting with Lupin the IIIrd: Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone in 2014.[7] Work outside of animation includes the artwork for the 2004 Dreams Come True single "Yasashii Kiss o Shite".[8]
