Akihiro Hino
Development of "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE" began when Akihiro Hino and Level-5 were first hired by Sunrise to develop a Gundam video game. Interested with working for the Gundam franchise, Hino wrote a plot summary for an anime which Bandai eventually saw and decided to create an anime based on it. The script was eventually green-lit and was first announced in the July issue of Shogakukan's "CoroCoro Comic".
