Takeshi Honda
Birthplace: Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Takeshi Honda is a Japanese animator and character designer best known for his work during Gainax's early years. He goes by the nickname "Master" (師匠 Shishō) in industry circles.
Honda left Tokyo Design Academy before finishing to join the original Gainax lineup. He started young—picking up drawing supervision at just 22—and got his first character design credit on Metal Fighter Miku. From there, he became a regular fixture on the studio's productions, handling character design, animation supervision, and occasionally prop work across various series and video games throughout his career.
