## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kenichi_Otomo&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Kenichi Otomo first started in Detective Conan in 2009, as key animator in [**Episode 539**: A Fool's Inheritance](/wiki/A_Fool%27s_Inheritance "A Fool's Inheritance"). The rhythm of his commissions then progressively augmented and, in 2010, Otomo was appointed to animation director for [**Episode 587**: The Kirin's Horn That Vanished into the Dark](/wiki/The_Kirin%27s_Horn_That_Vanished_into_the_Dark "The Kirin's Horn That Vanished into the Dark"), which he directed along with [Miharu Nagano](/wiki/Miharu_Nagano "Miharu Nagano"). Since then, he has mainly worked with [Nobuharu Kamanaka](/wiki/Nobuharu_Kamanaka "Nobuharu Kamanaka"), [Nobuyuki Iwai](/wiki/Nobuyuki_Iwai "Nobuyuki Iwai"), [Chiemi Hironaka](/wiki/Chiemi_Hironaka "Chiemi Hironaka"), Miharu Nagano and [Akira Yoshimura](/wiki/Akira_Yoshimura "Akira Yoshimura").
In 2011 and 2012, Otomo participated in the [Magic Kaito TV specials](/wiki/Magic_Kaito:_Kid_the_Phantom_Thief "Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief"). Under [Koujin Ochi](/wiki/Koujin_Ochi "Koujin Ochi"), Otomo was mainly paired with Akira Yoshimura. Later on, with the arrival of [Yasuichiro Yamamoto](/wiki/Yasuichiro_Yamamoto "Yasuichiro Yamamoto") as director, Otomo worked with Kamanaka. After Kamanaka was appointed as co-director, Otomo's participations became less frequent.
