Cel Animator Identification

[nelsonmic628]

Hey guys!

I just purchased my first DBZ animation production cel and I'm extremely excited! It's a cel of SSJ Vegeta from episode 130: The Secret of Dr. Gero. I'm pumped because:

1. It's my first cell.
2. It's from the set of episodes of Vegeta's first SSJ appearance
3. Has the matching douga and original matching background

I'm trying to do some research into the animator of that cel. I saw on the site the animation staff for the episode.

Animation Supervisor: Kazuya Hisada

Key Animators:

Seigasha
Tomekichi Takeuchi
Yōko Iizuka
Mask Misumi
Masahiro Shimanuki
Naomi Tate

Is there a way to know exactly who animated this sequence? I know it is a key animator and it is labeled A2. I found the exact frame in the show. It's towards the end of the episode. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a link to the ebay page with the pictures.

Honestly pretty hard to tell. It looks like it could be either Hasada or Shiminuki

That is Masahiro Shimanuki's work.
