Notes

  • Also goes by aliases of 遡玉洩穂, and 橋本カツヨ
  • 白井千秋 is not another alias as is mentioned in SakugaWiki for Revolutionary Girl Utena episode 29 script. It comes from an error that used to be in Japanese Wikipedia until the writer Ryoe Tsukimura who used this alias made a blog post about it. This confusion likely started because of a 1997 interview (See external link below), where he said he did not follow the script when making storyboard for #29, and further mentioned that when the episode aired, the writer credit was not the original writer's name but 白井千秋.
  • He is also the author of boy and the beast, and wolf children manga.
  • He is known as one of the best directors in animation. So, not surprisingly, himself and his works have won many awards. Japanese Wikipedia under 受賞 section mentions a lot of those awards.
  • Likes to go with shadowless (Kagenashi) style for animation in his works
  • The Spirit of the Beehive, by Victor Erice is the movie that influenced him the most for becoming a director[7]
  • He is also a considerable reader, he lists Kenzaburō Ōe, Shūji Terayama, Kojin Karatani, Takaaki Yoshimoto and Haruki Murakami as his favorite authors[8]
  • His least favorite food is squid rings[8]
  • He got married on February 11th 2007[9]
  • Had his 1st child on Sep 24th 2012 11:25pm[10]
  • His first daughter was born on end of 2015[11]
  • He is inspired by what happens around him. For ex. Events such as marriage, and becoming a parent gave him idea to explore those topics in previous movies[12]
  • Lastly, since we are going by original credits (as much as possible), a lot of times under the storyboard section "not credited" is seen. That is because a lot of times the storyboard credit is not shown separately when that same person is also the director. So, even though it is safe to assume that is the case, we have still only listed things for which either the original credits show him as the storyboarder or we can provide refs/external links to show that he did the storyboard.
