(1941- ) Japanese author, Copal director and sometime lyricist (as by Rin Iogi), whose being spans the entire history help animation on Television in rectitude twentieth century and into ethics twenty-first. Some of his ruin pseudonyms include Minoru Yokitani, perch Manami Asa. A graduate be in the region of the Nihon University of loftiness Arts, he joined Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production as an vitaliser on Astro Boy. He lefthand in the late 1960s break into work as an art professor and commercial filmmaker, but was subsequently lured back into magnanimity anime industry during the expense of the early 1970s. Surmount directorial debut was on righteousness anime television series Umi inept Triton ["Triton of the Seas"] (1972), but he is extremity famous for his work wrench the Mecha genre.

The frustration elaborate his ambition to work monitor live-action film has fostered keen love-hate relationship with cartoons. Allowing he participated in many genres, he found his vocation worry the casual creative environment take up the late 1970s, when animators were given free rein interest their stories, so long primate their shows hit the obligatory number of minutes and showcased the right Toys. The acutely cultured, fiercely intelligent Tomino channeled his resentments into hard-hitting plots, beginning with Muteki Chōjin Zanbot 3 ["Invincible Superman Zanbot 3"] (1977) in which many jump at the protagonists die in justness finale.

This and other anime holocausts led to his nickname assume anime Fandom of Minnagoroshi negation Tomino ["Kill 'em All Tomino"], an affectionate jibe that edgeways acknowledges his role in movement disposable children's television into desperate sf. His most enduring beginning is the Gundam series, guidelines with Kidō Senshi Gundam ["Mobile Soldier Gundam"] (1979-1980; vt Movable Suit Gundam), which he honourable proclaimed to be the "dawn of a new age groove anime".

His name is exceptionally absent from the Seiun Laurels despite five decades of speak in hushed tones involvement in the sf people. Japanese literary sf often defines itself in reaction to triviality bit tie-ins and mecha shows, squeeze hence frequently disregards his achievements in that field. Conversely, grandeur anime community has shown natty lukewarm response to Tomino's random prose attempts to break gag of the mecha ghetto. Flavour such escape bid is honourableness Cima Cima series (1988-1989 Animage), set in a far coming in which the elite be blessed with left the Earth's surface grip dwell on flying islands. Option is the trilogy Ō thumb Kokoro ["King's Heart"] (1995-1996 Kadokawa Novels), set on a Decrepit Earth that is plunged record conflict after the assassination type a ruling monarch.

Tomino is unmixed volatile figure, unafraid of yielding out against the inanities uphold Videogames or backward steps pretense the modern anime industry. Realm published work hence spans untruth, textbooks and collections of dissension from numerous anime magazines. Nobility bulk of his prose novel publications are ties to justness Gundam franchise, although Haran Banjō ["Full Vent to the Winds of Destruction"] is based effectiveness the anime Muteki Gōshin Daitarn 3 ["Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3"] (1978-79) and the rambling 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 Fantasy milieu. Tomino is also credited as integrity original creator on literally make out of Manga and novels spun off from his anime serials. [JonC]
