## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Yoshimichi_Kameda&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Yoshimichi Kameda graduated from the fine art department of [Onomichi City University](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onomichi_City_University "wikipedia:Onomichi City University") (尾道市立大学)[](#cite_note-education-3); after his graduation, he moved to Tokyo, he then debuted as a key animator in 2004 via the anime *[Bleach](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach_(TV_series) "wikipedia:Bleach (TV series)")* (ブリーチ BLEACH), and was active mainly in drawing action scenes[](#cite_note-activity-4). In 2006, he joined [Anime International Company](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime_International_Company "wikipedia:Anime International Company") (アニメインターナショナルカンパニー). After he had done the key animation work of the anime *[Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist:_Brotherhood "wikipedia:Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood")* (鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST) in 2009[[Note 2]](#cite_note-5), he quit Anime International Company and became freelance (yet he is presently affiliated with [WIT Studio](/wiki/WIT_Studio "WIT Studio")[](#cite_note-affiliation-6)).
After that, Kameda joined the production of the anime *[Parol Mirai Island](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%83%91%E3%83%AD%E3%83%AB%E3%81%AE%E3%81%BF%E3%82%89%E3%81%84%E5%B3%B6 "wikipedia:ja:パロルのみらい島")* (パロルのみらい島): in which he was involved in the series' early-stage planning, later he served as character design and animation director for that anime[](#cite_note-planning-7). Thereafter he began to serve as character designer for certain animation series - notably, in 2016, he became the character design for *[Mob Psycho 100](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_Psycho_100 "wikipedia:Mob Psycho 100")* (モブサイコ100). In 2023, he received the "Okawa-Fukutani Award" at the Niigata International Animation Film Festival for his directed work *[Inu-Oh](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inu-Oh "wikipedia:Inu-Oh")* (犬王), where he was the chief animation director[](#cite_note-award-8).
Kameda joined the production of *Detective Conan* in 2022, for which he first worked on the production of the openings and endings of the spin-off stories of the series: [Zero's Tea Time](/wiki/Zero%27s_Tea_Time_(anime) "Zero's Tea Time (anime)") and [The Culprit Hanzawa](/wiki/The_Culprit_Hanzawa "The Culprit Hanzawa"). Whereupon he also did key animation in [**Movie 25**: The Bride of Halloween](/wiki/The_Bride_of_Halloween "The Bride of Halloween"). In 2024, he was appointed as the character designer and chief animation director for *Shin Samurai-den Yaiba* anime.
