Takeshi Maenami

前並武志

He has gathered a lot of attention with his incredibly dynamic, Kanada-inspired cuts in Pokémon Sun & Moon. His animation is characterized by erratic snappy timing, liberal and ample use of smears (often with a complete lack of outlines), and extreme perspectives.

Graduated Yoyogi Animation School in 2009, but spent much of the following years helping out at his parents' restaurant and didn't start formally working as an animator until 2018. Currently affiliated with WIT Studio.
