When Otsuka met the three men, he seems to have felt that he was taking off his hat to them at once. The other two are Sadao Tsukioka who became a visual creator, and award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki. He also collaborated with director Mamoru Hosoda to provide character designs for the films The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, and Wolf Children.Īccording to Yasuo Otsuka, who guided Sadamoto as a newcomer, there are only three people whom he regarded as more skillful than himself that he has met during his career. The official manga adaptation of Evangelion, published between 19, was fully written and illustrated by Sadamoto. His first assignment as a character designer for Gainax was the film Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, released in 1987, he continued to design characters for Gainax with the series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL, and Diebuster.
