| I know, it's unusual for me to use the term "Japanimation" lol. But for those wondering, is it possible to work in that field, even if you're not Japanese? Or how about something more fitting in that case: What if I told you that there are people like that over there? So today, I am going to make a list of individuals who traveled from overseas to come across different studios in Japan for their careers! Look for the listings below. Often, I'll be adding more people to the list.But if you know any foreign animators, let me know and I'll add 'em!
