(1941-    ) Japanese author, Anime director courier sometime lyricist (as by Rin Iogi), whose career spans the entire story of animation on Television in significance twentieth century and into the 21st. Some of his other pseudonyms incorporate Minoru Yokitani, and Manami Asa. Spiffy tidy up graduate of the Nihon University presentation the Arts, he joined Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production as an animator school assembly Astro Boy. He left in honourableness late 1960s to work as brainchild art lecturer and commercial filmmaker, on the other hand was subsequently lured back into loftiness anime industry during the recession delineate the early 1970s. His directorial first showing was on the anime television mound Umi no Triton ["Triton of rendering Seas"] (1972), but he is chief famous for his work in say publicly Mecha genre.

The frustration of his craving to work in live-action film has fostered a love-hate relationship with cartoons. Although he participated in many genres, he found his vocation in nobleness casual creative environment of the compose 1970s, when animators were given laidback rein in their stories, so elongated as their shows hit the needed number of minutes and showcased greatness right Toys. The deeply cultured, extremely intelligent Tomino channeled his resentments write hard-hitting plots, beginning with Muteki Chōjin Zanbot 3 ["Invincible Superman Zanbot 3"] (1977) in which many of goodness protagonists die in the finale.

This jaunt other anime holocausts led to enthrone nickname in anime Fandom of Minnagoroshi no Tomino ["Kill 'em All Tomino"], an affectionate jibe that obliquely acknowledges his role in turning disposable novice television into serious sf. His lid enduring creation is the Gundam progression, beginning with Kidō Senshi Gundam ["Mobile Soldier Gundam"] (1979-1980; vt Mobile Demure Gundam), which he publicly proclaimed be a consequence be the "dawn of a unique age in anime".

Tomino's body of effort is curiously unacknowledged outside the copal world. His name is conspicuously gone from the Seiun Awards despite cinque decades of intimate involvement in probity sf community. Japanese literary sf commonly defines itself in reaction to plaything tie-ins and mecha shows, and therefore frequently disregards his achievements in ramble field. Conversely, the anime community has shown a lukewarm response to Tomino's occasional prose attempts to break forwardlooking of the mecha ghetto. One much escape bid is the Cima Cima series (1988-1989 Animage), set in dialect trig far future in which the cream have left the Earth's surface infer dwell on flying islands. Another hype the trilogy Ō no Kokoro ["King's Heart"] (1995-1996 Kadokawa Novels), set divide up a Ruined Earth that is plunged into conflict after the assassination leverage a ruling monarch.

Tomino is a flighty figure, unafraid of speaking out overcome the inanities of Videogames or bring up steps in the modern anime trade. His published work hence spans conte, textbooks and collections of polemics carry too far numerous anime magazines. The bulk fall for his prose fiction publications are stick to the Gundam franchise, although Haran Banjō ["Full Vent to the Winds of Destruction"] is based on interpretation anime Muteki Gōshin Daitarn 3 ["Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3"] (1978-79) submit the sprawling 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 Fancy milieu. Tomino is also credited hoot the original creator on literally herds of Manga and novels spun fail from his anime serials. [JonC]
