He was in charge of original drawings for TV series and movie animations, and first directed “Frankengear” in the omnibus movie “Robot Carnival” in 1987. In 1988, he served as assistant setting and animation director for “AKIRA” (directed by Katsuhiro Otomo), and in 1995 directed the first episode of the omnibus movie
“MEMORIES”, “With Her Thoughts”. In the same year, Ken Ishii’s music clip “EXTRA/KENISHII” attracted attention both domestically and internationally. The same work won “MTV DANCE VIDEO OF THE YEAR” in the UK. He has also worked on “BEYOND,” an episode of the omnibus DVD “Animatrix,” which is set in the world of the movie “The Matrix,” as well as music videos for artists such as Hikaru Utada and GLAY. When I think of the Pink Panther, the images that come to mind are sharp character designs and music. The comical Pink Panther and Inspector Clouseau move around to the unforgettable music. At that time, I remember being more excited about the cartoon animation works of Tex Avery and others than about Disney. The limited anime that they created while there was no budget for Japanese TV was an extension of that cartoon, and it influenced me in many ways. “Simple is the Best” I hope that I can meet many different Pink Panthers in the future. ■Guest artists (6 people) yukke (Illustrator) HP:
