## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Sunshine_Corporation&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Sunshine Corporation is the first outsourcing firm that got involved of the *Detective Conan* anime production; its origin can be dated back to 1996, with episode 5 [The Shinkansen's Bomb Case](/wiki/The_Shinkansen%27s_Bomb_Case "The Shinkansen's Bomb Case"), the firm was credited under the segment "production cooperation" in the ending credits. After that, there were no notation within the ending credits with regards to the firm; nonetheless, the firm did not just quit the anime production - but instead, continued to get involved in the anime.
In 2002, starting with episode 271, [The Secret Rushed Omission](/wiki/The_Secret_Rushed_Omission "The Secret Rushed Omission"), animator [Akiko Kawashima](/wiki/Akiko_Kawashima "Akiko Kawashima"), who was directly affiliated with Sunshine Corporation, started to serve as animation director. Before this change, many freelance animator were appointed as animation director for episode outsourced to Sunshine Corporation, this entailed [Atsushi Aono](/wiki/Atsushi_Aono "Atsushi Aono"), [Masayuki Hiraoka](/wiki/Masayuki_Hiraoka "Masayuki Hiraoka"), [Takehiro Hamatsu](/wiki/Takehiro_Hamatsu "Takehiro Hamatsu"), [Keiichi Ishida](/wiki/Keiichi_Ishida "Keiichi Ishida"), [Masaki Kudo](/wiki/Masaki_Kudo "Masaki Kudo"), [Mitsuru Soma](/wiki/Mitsuru_Soma "Mitsuru Soma") etc.
Many aniamtors from this firm possess a fairly refined art style - a lot of frames drawn by them were gorgeous and alluring. This was also not an exception for Kawashima's animation direction: numerous smooth techniques utilised and magnificent art style seen within those episodes (characters with big eyes were not an uncommon phenomenon either). After [Masato Sato](/wiki/Masato_Sato "Masato Sato") became the anime director, the firm's name was then officially credited under "production cooperation" again, starting with [The Similar Princesses](/wiki/The_Similar_Princesses "The Similar Princesses"). Despite some unsteady frames during this transition period when the anime character design had changed to [Mari Tominaga](/wiki/Mari_Tominaga "Mari Tominaga"), Kawashima was still able to adapt and resume her proficiency upon animation direction - the Full Moon arc from episode 345 could serve as an example.
After episode 432, Kawashima stepped down from the animation director role in *Detective Conan*. As a result, another animator named [Ayako Tauchi](/wiki/Ayako_Tauchi "Ayako Tauchi") had taken the relative position. Tauchi had manifested some capabilities of drawing the characters in a slightly different way as Kawashima. Finally, Sunshine Corporation quit the *Detective Conan* production in 2006, after episode 449.
