Shouji Kawamori

Given name: 正治

Family name: 河森

Alternate names: Shoji Kawamori

Birthday: Feb 2, 1960

Member Favorites: 485

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.

The Nomura of anime, excellent designer but questionable director

Report

He was probably on drugs when he thought up the latest Macross Delta film.

I wonder if he gets any royalties from the Michael Bay Transformers films.

He used to be brilliant and innovative but hasn't done anything of note/quality since Macross Frontier in 2008. Should stick to mechanical designs where he is still the undisputed GOAT.
