Osamu Kobayashi (illustrator)
Osamu Kobayashi (小林 治, Kobayashi Osamu) (born January 10, 1964, in Tokyo) is a Japanese animator, illustrator, mechanical designer, and animation director primarily known for his work on episode 4 of Gurren Lagann and, most recently, episode 15 of Dororo (2019 TV series).[1] After graduating from high school, he worked as a designer and manga artist, but in recent years he has been mainly active in the field of animation, following his participation in Grandia. He originally directed avant-garde shorts and music videos for Studio 4°C and has more recently done two TV series for Madhouse Studios.[1]
