Profile of Yoshiyuki Tomino on Famous Like Me

Yoshiyuki Tomino (富野 由悠季 Tomino Yoshiyuki) (b. November 5, 1941) is a novelist and animation creator. He began his career in 1963 working for Osamu Tezuka's company, Mushi Productions. He later became one of the most important members of the animation studio Sunrise and went on to direct much of their anime through the 1970s and 1980s before slowing down in the 1990s. Tomino is perhaps best known for his transformation of the super robot genre into the real robot genre with 1979's Mobile Suit Gundam.

With his first work for Sunrise, 1977's Zambot 3, as well as with 1980's Space Runaway Ideon, 1983's Aura Battler Dunbine, and 1985's Zeta Gundam, Tomino earned the nickname "Kill 'em All Tomino" for the high body count of normally-sacrosanct main characters in his works.
