Naoko Yamada as above mentioned, with K-On!, Koe no Katachi and Tamako Market

Hikaru Yamaguchi is the director of Given

Atsuko Ishizuka directed No game no life, Sakurasou no pet na kanojo and Sora yori mo tooi Basho

Kaori directed Miira no Taikata, Endro! and Yuyushiki

Kaoru Suzuki is the director of My roommate is a cat

Mari Okada is perhaps the best known writer (Urobuchi aside maybe?) in the industry and recently directed the film Maquia

From what I know, Kyoto Animation actually employs more women (directors, animators, everything) than any other studio. Not sure if that's number-wise or percentage-wise though!

Apart from the ones mentioned already I'd like to mention Yuki Kajiura and Yoko Kanno, two very well known composers who work for anime. Kajiura has worked on the Fate series, Madoka Magica, Cossette no Shouzou, Boku Dake ga Irai Machi, El Cazador de la Bruja and Kara no Kyoukai. Kanno is one of the better known anime composers with such titles as Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Escaflowne, Macross F, Sakamichi no Apollon and Zankyou no Terror under her belt.

- 12 Kingdoms
- Erin & Guardian of the Spirit (same writer)
- Banana Fish
