Shoji Kawamori

Given name: 正治

Family name: 河森

Birthday: Feb 2, 1960

Member Favorites: 385

Birth place: Toyama Prefecture, Japan

A little known fact is that early in his career, Kawamori had worked with Takara on designing toys for the Diaclone series - many of which eventually went on to the Transformers line. Most notable of these designs were Battle Convoy (Optimus Prime), Datsun Fairlady Z Robo (Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen) and Nissan Cherry Vanette Robo (Ironhide/Ratchet). In 2006, Kawamori returned to his roots by designing the Hybrid Style Convoy and Masterpiece Starscream toys.

Absolute genius in his youth and a top notch mecha designer, but as a creator of quality anime he's lost it. Satelight pumps out one piece of meh anime after another.
