The king of big dick energy. Great storyboarder, designer, and animator, but the writing in almost all the shows he's directed sucks balls.

This man is a fucking legend. A real chad and I bet he has a big dick due to all the big dick anime he's worked on.

All of his character designs have that very extreme 90s-esque sharpness/sexiness to them with excessive shading, even for shows he's designed for in the 2000s and 2010s. A pretty rad lad.
