Biography
Masatomo Sudo started animation in 1980, when he did in-between animation for Ashita no Joe 2 (あしたのジョー2); his first attempt as an animation director was for PEACHBOY LEGEND (桃太郎伝説), in 1989. Afterwards, he served as the chief animation director and character design for two movies of Lupin III (ルパン三世), from 1994 to 1995. He is currently a freelance animator, but formerly belonged to Studio AnnaPluck (スタジオあんなぷる) and mainly works for TMS Entertainment.
Masatomo Sudo is the person with the greatest influence on the animation style of the Detective Conan anime. He has served as the character designer of the anime since episode 1. Due to the fact that the character settings from the original manga had not yet been optimised and matured, Sudo's animation style was unsteady too - which contributed to more round-like character facial features. After a year progressed, the character design of the anime had settled down; the outlines of the characters' chins became rather appreciable. However, in 1997, Sudo's activity in the Detective Conan anime had decreased sharply, this was because that he focused more on the movies (Sudo has always served as the chief animation director and character design for the movies). Occasionally, he still returned for some prominent episodes, examples include Episodes 48~49: Diplomat Murder Case, Episode 174: The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case, and Episodes 238~239: The 3 "K"s of Osaka Case etc.
Notably, in 2000, Sudo altered the character design of the series: Conan's jaw became more angular, and so was the other characters, thus having a higher resemblance to the original manga, which increased the quality of the animation greatly. In 2002, the anime switched to full-digital production; as a result, Sudo had done some fine-tuning on his character design, making the characters' chins even more noticeable. In addition, he himself disclosed that in order to make his character design sheets as close to the original work as possible, he always draws and traces some paintings from the manga before altering the character sheets.
During the director Masato Sato era, the anime production undertook a big alteration - in which Sudo was transformed to work on the movies completely; accordingly, the Detective Conan anime character design was changed to Mari Tominaga. He was only restored with this position in 2008, working along with Junko Yamanaka, and later also with Seiji Muta and Nobuyuki Iwai respectively. During this time when Koujin Ochi was in charge of the Detective Conan anime direction, Sudo began to serve as "animation supervisor"[Note 1] for the anime in episodes 507-517; even he was not credited, but his peculiar art style was being recognised by several fans[Note 2].
In 2012, Ochi stepped down as director and Yasuichiro Yamamoto became the director again. After that, animation supervisors began to get their credits in the ending of the anime. Sudo, meanwhile, started to experiment with different drawing techniques; thick outlines were widely used thereupon. Especially after the 1000 remake of Episodes 1000~1001: The Moonlight Sonata Murder in 2021, Sudo extended the use of thick outlines, and many other animators had also begun to use them.

- ^ Note: This role was in fact only properly introduced by the next director Yasuichiro Yamamoto, despite Ochi being the one who first created the notion of this role. This role basically corrects the the work that has already been corrected by an animation director from the frames the key animators drew.
- ^ Note: Junko Yamanaka's art style was also being recognised. In the ending credits of the compilation movie The Scarlet Alibi, it was clearly shown that Yamanaka worked as an animation supervisor during this period, which backs up this "fan speculation".
