Biography

Yoshizaki was born in Tokyo, Japan. At the age of 16, he was deeply impressed by Kōji Morimoto's MV "Extra" (music by Ken Ishii), which inspired him to work in animation. As a high school student, he started working in Gainax under guidance of Hiroyuki Yamaga. He then entered Tama Art University and started working as a VJ in nightclubs all around Tokyo while studying animation under Kōji Morimoto at Studio 4°C.[1] After graduation, he became a freelance motion graphics artist and art director, mainly for animated MV and PV. In 2011, for making Clammbon MV, he was selected as one of the top 100 video artists of the year on a magazine published by BNN Shinsha, Japan.[2] In 2013, he created the first original animated music video "ME!ME!ME!" in collaboration with TeddyLoid and Daoko. It was made as the 3rd episode of Japan Animator Expo project, and achieved the highest number of views among all 36 episodes in the project. After working as a freelance art director for 18 years, he joined Khara in 2016.
