Hokkaido native Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (1947-) is a Japanese animator
and manga artist. His career as a character designer has spanned
over four decades, creating famed characters for such anime as
Super Atragon, Brace Raideen, and the widely known Mobile Suit
Gundam. Considered a pivotal player in mecha and sci-fi anime,
Yasuhiko's characters, stories and illustrations are unmistakable
in their style and serve as timeless examples as pioneers of manga
and animation in Japan.
Yasuhiko began his career as an animator in Osama Tezuka's Mushi
Productions, and later on decided to go freelance to work for a
number of animation productions for both film and television. In
the late 70's, Yasuhiko would turn his attention to the world of
comics, as he has since penned nearly two dozen titles since.
