## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Aya_Sasaki&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Aya Sasaki was originally affiliated with [**Studio Wanpack**](/wiki/Studio_Wanpack "Studio Wanpack"). Sasaki joined the production of the *Detective Conan* anime in 2013, starting with [**Episode 718**: The Devil's Circuit](/wiki/The_Devil%27s_Circuit "The Devil's Circuit"). After that, she continuously did key animation for the anime. In 2017, she was promoted to assistant animation director, starting with [**Episode 872**: Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend (Squealing)](/wiki/Conan_and_Heiji%27s_Nue_Legend "Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend"), but stepped down after [**Episode 895**: The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door (Part 2)](/wiki/The_Tokyo-Style_Detective_Show_Next_Door "The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door") due to the disbandment of Studio Wanpack.
In 2018, Studio Wanpack got disbanded owing to the death of the chairman; accordingly, episode 895 was their last work for *Detective Conan*. However, animators from the studio such as [Yui Ushinohama](/wiki/Yui_Ushinohama "Yui Ushinohama"), [Hiroaki Takagi](/wiki/Hiroaki_Takagi "Hiroaki Takagi") and [Miho Tanaka](/wiki/Miho_Tanaka "Miho Tanaka"), decided to continue working at *Detective Conan* irregularly, including Sasaki herself, which she only did key animation afterwards.
