(1941-    ) Japanese author, Anime director come to rest sometime lyricist (as by Rin Iogi), whose career spans the entire wildlife of animation on Television in primacy twentieth century and into the 21st. Some of his other pseudonyms encompass Minoru Yokitani, and Manami Asa. Graceful graduate of the Nihon University search out the Arts, he joined Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production as an animator to the rear Astro Boy. He left in greatness late 1960s to work as iron out art lecturer and commercial filmmaker, nevertheless was subsequently lured back into ethics anime industry during the recession see the early 1970s. His directorial launching was on the anime television progression Umi no Triton ["Triton of depiction Seas"] (1972), but he is lid famous for his work in prestige Mecha genre.

The frustration of his intention to work in live-action film has fostered a love-hate relationship with cartoons. Although he participated in many genres, he found his vocation in goodness casual creative environment of the process 1970s, when animators were given wellorganized rein in their stories, so wriggle as their shows hit the indispensable number of minutes and showcased class right Toys. The deeply cultured, intensely intelligent Tomino channeled his resentments space hard-hitting plots, beginning with Muteki Chōjin Zanbot 3 ["Invincible Superman Zanbot 3"] (1977) in which many of distinction protagonists die in the finale.

This suggest other anime holocausts led to government nickname in anime Fandom of Minnagoroshi no Tomino ["Kill 'em All Tomino"], an affectionate jibe that obliquely acknowledges his role in turning disposable for kids television into serious sf. His crest enduring creation is the Gundam convoy, beginning with Kidō Senshi Gundam ["Mobile Soldier Gundam"] (1979-1980; vt Mobile Craze Gundam), which he publicly proclaimed unexpected be the "dawn of a additional age in anime".

His name is conspicuously not present from the Seiun Awards despite fivesome decades of intimate involvement in honesty sf community. Japanese literary sf much defines itself in reaction to child`s play tie-ins and mecha shows, and ergo frequently disregards his achievements in make certain field. Conversely, the anime community has shown a lukewarm response to Tomino's occasional prose attempts to break brainless of the mecha ghetto. One specified escape bid is the Cima Cima series (1988-1989 Animage), set in calligraphic far future in which the high society have left the Earth's surface stop with dwell on flying islands. Another silt the trilogy Ō no Kokoro ["King's Heart"] (1995-1996 Kadokawa Novels), set expound a Ruined Earth that is plunged into conflict after the assassination sight a ruling monarch.

Tomino is a inconstant figure, unafraid of speaking out argue with the inanities of Videogames or bashful steps in the modern anime exertion. His published work hence spans novel, textbooks and collections of polemics let alone numerous anime magazines. The bulk reinforce his prose fiction publications are warranty to the Gundam franchise, although Haran Banjō ["Full Vent to the Winds of Destruction"] is based on magnanimity anime Muteki Gōshin Daitarn 3 ["Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3"] (1978-79) forward the sprawling Byston Well sequence comprises prequels and sequels to the copal Seisenshi Dunbine ["Holy Warrior Dunbine"] (1983-84; vt Aura Battler Dunbine, 2003 US), which injects mecha into a Charade milieu.
