Yasuji Murata

Yasuji Murata (村田安司, Murata Yasuji, 24 January 1896, Yokohama, Japan – 2 November 1966) was a pioneering animator who helped develop the art of anime in Japan. Studying the animation techniques of Sanae Yamamoto,[1] Murata produced dozens of mostly educational films at the Yokohama Cinema studio featuring such characters as Momotarō and Norakuro. Along with Noburō Ōfuji, he was renowned as a master of cutout animation.[2] Among his students were such animators as Yoshitarō Kataoka.

gollark: Also pain toggles and metadata and not just "something hurts now, good luck working out why and also you can't stop it".
gollark: You would probably need more than just brain-level tweaks for that, to provide the data in the first place.
