Early life

edit

Satoshi Urushihara was born on February 9, 1966, in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.[3][4] He met fellow illustrator Kinji Yoshimoto in 1983 while attending a technical high school in Miyajima.[4] He effectively started his career in manga and anime when he was selected as animator for the animated movie Jungle Boy Kenya (少年ケニヤ, Shōnen Keniya), produced by Kadokawa Haruki Jimusho and Toei Animation, a position he was actively looking for.[4]

Anime and manga career

edit

After graduating from high school in 1984, he was employed by Toei Animation and after gaining some experience he was promoted to key animator with the animated TV series The Transformers and provided mechanical designs for The Transformers: The Movie.[5]

The next year, Urushihara became a freelancer, working mainly in original video animations. It was his work with the OVA Megazone 23 Part II (1986) that made him recognized by producers of AIC. This lead him to be the character designer and animation supervisor of the adult-restricted OVA White Shadow (ホワイトシャドウ) (New Cream Lemon series, episode 2) released in 1987. This work was his debut as character designer, although at the time of the original OVA release, his name was kept secret and afterwards announced on the official website of Earthwork.[4] In 1990, he was the character designer and chief production supervisor for the seventh episode of Bubblegum Crisis called "Double Vision".

In 1990, along with illustrators Kinji Yoshimoto and Yoshihiro Kimura, he created the production company Earthwork.[3][4]
