Takehiro Hamatsu first joined the production of the *Detective Conan* anime in 1997, and he only did key animation for [The Mystery Weapon Murder Case](/wiki/The_Mystery_Weapon_Murder_Case "The Mystery Weapon Murder Case"). Then, in 2001, he returned and served as the animation director for a few episodes.
Hamatsu became a regular animation director (despite in a short duration) for the anime by replacing [Masayuki Hiraoka](/wiki/Masayuki_Hiraoka "Masayuki Hiraoka"). He is extremely capable of drawing/correcting close-up shots, however not so eminent when it comes to far and long-distant shots. After stepping down, his position was then replaced by [Keiichi Ishida](/wiki/Keiichi_Ishida "Keiichi Ishida").
