After that, he worked as an assistant director under Director Takahata, holding a position in the anime *[Jarinko Chie](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarinko_Chie "wikipedia:Jarinko Chie")* ( じゃりン子チエ) of assistant director. At Tokyo Movie's American subsidiary, he began working mainly on animated joint productions with foreign countries. After that, he moved to Disney Japan and worked for [Sunrise](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA_(%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E5%88%B6%E4%BD%9C%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89) "wikipedia:ja:サンライズ (アニメ制作ブランド)") (サンライズ) and [Animaruya](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%82%A8%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%9E%E3%83%AB "wikipedia:ja:エクラアニマル") (エクラアニマル); but in recent years, he has returned to domestic production and has been doing a lot of directing work for Tokyo Movie (東京ムービー).
