Tomoyuki Itamura (Japanese: 板村 智幸, Hepburn: Itamura Tomoyuki) is a Japanese animator, director, and storyboard artist. He joined OLM in 2002 as an in-between animator and left in 2007 to join Shaft. Itamura took over the Monogatari series from Tatsuya Oishi as his television directorial debut with Nisemonogatari. With Akiyuki Shinbo, Itamura directed all subsequent televised installments until he left the studio following Owarimonogatari II.

Career

Itamura joined OLM in 2002, and he first served as an in-between animator on the studio's Pokémon Chronicles television series. In 2006, he storyboarded two episodes of Ray the Animation, and the following year left the studio, where he then joined Shaft. That year, he debuted as an episode director with the 3rd episode of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, and in 2008 debuted as a project director under the chief direction of Akiyuki Shinbo with Mahō Sensei Negima!: Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba.[1] In 2012, Itamura succeeded Tatsuya Oishi as the successor to Shaft's adaptation of the Monogatari series following Oishi's decision to animate the Kizumonogatari novels in film format (which was completed in 2017).[2] Beginning with Nisemonogiatari, Itamura directed all subsequent televised Monogatari series productions until Owarimonogatari II in 2017, which was the year he left Shaft.
