My film Mirai received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature in 2019. My latest film BELLE premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, and opens in North American theatres and IMAX today! You can view the subtitled trailer here and the trailer for the English dub here.

I also directed One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island (2005), The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006), Summer Wars (2009), Wolf Children (2012), and The Boy and the Beast (2015). In addition, I have worked on series like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Slam Dunk, and Digimon.
