Keiichiro Kawaguchi


Keiichiro Kawaguchi is a Japanese animator and director born in Kawasaki, Kanagawa.

Life and career

Kawaguchi got his start at Ashi Productions and has worked as a key animator and animation director, as well as episode director for many projects. In recent years, he has worked as a sound director and screenwriter for some of the works. Initially, the OVA Pinky:St was supposed to be his first directorial work, but due to production delays, the TV series MÄR was aired before it, resulting in it being his first directorial work instead.

Personal life

Kawaguchi is regarded as a quick worker and often directs two or three projects at a time. He also does much of the storyboarding himself. He enjoys collecting figurines and character goods, and his work desk is crammed with toys. He got into the anime industry because he dreamed of working on plastic models and toyetic anime.
