Also known as Kometani Yoshitomo (米谷良知). Before 1999 Yoshitomo went by this name, seemingly an alternative reading of his birthname.

Also known as Mai. Yonetani Yoshitomo does not only direct anime and write songs, he also sings anime theme songs under this name.

Yonetani Yoshitomo was born May 13, 1963 in Tokyo and graduated Tokyo Designer Gakuin. He is the leader of Studio 7 at Sunrise and was responsible for their super robot cult series Yuusha Ou GaoGaiGar as well as Brigadoon and Betterman.

Yoshitomo was inspired working in the animation industry after having seen Mirai Shounen Conan.

He started as production assistent at Toei Douga, before moving to Shin-Ei Douga and finally Sunrise.

Great job on Shokugeki No Soma, I’m reading the manga alongside the anime and so far I’m liking the anime a lot better, it’s just so well made.

Vatican Miracle Examiner is the bravest anime in recent times for daring to show a Jewish secret organisation fighting the racism, bigotry and evil of the anti-Semitic remnants of the Nazis that migrated with Adolf Hitler to Argentina. In the current political climate of bigoted, racist, alt-right radicals, Vatican Miracle Examiner touches upon very taboo subjects and challenges the political narrative run by the alt-right to show the truth of the situation. It is a show with a diverse cast and it embraces the ideas of rabbis. For all the good that this show has done, it still manages to fail by giving legitimacy to old-fashioned and archaic practices observed by Catholics.
