## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Studio_Wanpack&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Initially, the studio joined the production for the [anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime") in 2009 via [Kagura Co., Ltd.](/wiki/Kagura_Co.,_Ltd. "Kagura Co., Ltd."), and was responsible for key animation and animation direction works. The first time when the animators from Studio Wanpack joined *Detective Conan* was [**Episode 522**: Shinichi's True Face and Ran's Tears](/wiki/Murderer,_Shinichi_Kudo "Murderer, Shinichi Kudo"), with [Masakazu Yamazaki](/wiki/Masakazu_Yamazaki "Masakazu Yamazaki") and [Shunryo Yamamura](/wiki/index.php?title=Shunryo_Yamamura&action=edit&redlink=1 "Shunryo Yamamura (page does not exist)"). However, they did not perform well enough as the characters from their hands were severely out of shape, thus the episode gained criticism.
After that, Studio Wanpack introduced several animation directors such as [Aki Kumada](/wiki/Aki_Kumada "Aki Kumada"), [Yumiko Ishii](/wiki/Yumiko_Ishii "Yumiko Ishii") and [Kana Miyai](/wiki/Kana_Miyai "Kana Miyai"). In the meantime, staff such as Masakazu Yamazaki and [Kana Miyai](/wiki/Kana_Miyai "Kana Miyai") quit the studio. At the end of 2011, [Miho Tanaka](/wiki/Miho_Tanaka "Miho Tanaka") stepped up as animation director for Studio Wanpack. [Akane Imada](/wiki/Akane_Imada "Akane Imada") later replaced her in 2014. [Yui Ushinohama](/wiki/Yui_Ushinohama "Yui Ushinohama"), who was initially an assistant animation director, replaced Akane Imada afterwards. Having Yui Ushinohama, the quality of their work increased a lot.
On January 2, 2018, the chairman of Studio Wanpack, Koji Yamada (山田 浩嗣), passed away. Thus, it was later officially announced on February 1, 2018, that the twenty-four-year-old studio would be disbanded on February 28, 2018. On the same day, Yui Ushinohama declared on her X account that [**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") would be the last time that Studio Wanpack participate in the production of the anime under the title of "production cooperation".
Although the studio is now disbanded, some of the past members joined [TMS Entertainment](/wiki/TMS_Entertainment "TMS Entertainment") or started being freelancers to continue working in the *Detective Conan* anime production, like Yui Ushinohama and [Hiroaki Takagi](/wiki/Hiroaki_Takagi "Hiroaki Takagi").
