## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Takaaki_Ishiyama&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Before working as an animator, Takaaki Ishiyama had a will of becoming a mangaka, this is because that his uncle was a political mangaka who worked for [Niigata Nippo Newspaper](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E6%96%B0%E6%BD%9F%E6%97%A5%E5%A0%B1 "wikipedia:ja:新潟日報"), and he was greatly inspired by classic Japanese animations such as *[Astro Boy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Boy "wikipedia:Astro Boy")* (鉄腕アトム) and *[Tetsujin 28-go](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetsujin_28-go "wikipedia:Tetsujin 28-go")* (鉄人28号).
After graduating from [Tokyo Designer College](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E5%B0%82%E9%96%80%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%91%E3%83%B3 "wikipedia:ja:専門学校東京クールジャパン") (東京ネットウエイブ) in 1981, Ishiyama entered animation company [Tatsunoko Pro](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsunoko_Production "wikipedia:Tatsunoko Production") (タツノコプロ). After producing some works done by that company, in 1985, he quit the company and became a freelance technical director ever since.
