Source biography
Joined MADHOUSE in 1999 as a production manager, making his storyboard and episode director debut with Galaxy Angel just two years later. In 2005, he made his proper directorial debut with Otogi-juushi Akazukin, a single-episode OVA which was aimed more at figure collectors than at anime fans. Its popularity birthed the full-length series and manga which both came out afterwards.
