==Notes==
*He mostly works just as an key animator, so we don't have much of a glimpse at his supervision. However, [http://soutennensyoku.fc2web.com/geki_s_inaba.html this] goes into detail about his style in his ''GeGeGe no Kitarō (1996)'' episodes.
*He did a lot of work in an One Piece commercial<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/datwerg/status/1220313383636856832|Website=Twitter|Title=@datwerg|Date=23 January 2020|AccessDate=13 November 2020}}</ref> (unrealeased?)
*He is also credited as '''Jin Inaba''' in a lot of places in english. Jin is another way to pronounce '''仁'''. However, in his case, '''Hitoshi''' is the correct way to read it since that is what the hirangana in ''Dragon Ball Z: Tale of Extreme Bravery'' reads<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/datwerg/status/1077971445064511488|Website=Twitter|Title=@datwerg|Date=26 December 2018|AccessDate=13 November 2020}}</ref>.
