Tojin Kit ( Genius Party Beyond ) Tatsuyuki Tanaka

Tojin Kit is one of the animated shorts from Genius Party Beyond, an omnibus animated film produced by renowned Japanese animation company Studio 4°C ( Tekkon Kinkreet ) back in 2007. The director is the exceptionally talented Tatsuyuki Tanaka. Watch the full animated short below :

Tanaka-san’s long list of impressive credits include animation work on Tetsuo’s mutation sequence in Otomo Katsuhiro’s magnum opus Akira, Studio 4°C animated short Onkyo Seimeitai ( Noiseman Sound Insect ), concept work on The Secret Of Blue Water (Nadia), amongst other things. His art book “Cannabis Works” is beyond amazing.

Some of his more recent endeavors include this massively popular flipbook animation called Para Para Manga (shown below), a testament to his unbelievable animation skills.

And his most recent work at the time of writing is character design work on Otomo’s Farewell To Weapons (shown below), one of the four animated shorts from Short Peace.

In his free time Tanaka-san also pen articles on animation techniques in the Japanese illustration magazine Kikan S, or draw short comic strips.

Tatsuyuki Tanaka, a tour de force in the Japanese animation industry.

One of my favorites as well. On a unrelated note, I wish Mitsuo Iso will come back with something new.
