Biography

After graduating from high school, Hayashi did not have any specific career in mind to pursue. However, he was convinced by a friend to join an animation school run by Toei Animation.[1] He later worked on his first series with in-between and key animation for Inuyasha in 2001.[2][3] In 2012, he directed his first series with Pes: Peace Eco Smile, a series of anime shorts produced by Studio 4°C to promote Toyota.[4] He was later offered by Masao Maruyama to direct Garo: The Animation at MAPPA, which he accepted.[5]

Shortly after completing work on Garo: The Animation, Hayashi was approached by MAPPA CEO Manabu Otsuka, to direct Kakegurui, to which Hayashi agreed.[2] Hayashi later directed Dorohedoro, which was nominated for anime of the year and best fantasy at the 2021 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.[6][7] Beginning in 2020, Hayashi directed Attack on Titan: The Final Season, which was nominated for anime of the year and best action at the 2022 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.[8][9] Hayashi himself was also nominated for best director.[9]
