== Biography ==
Masakazu Yamazaki was originally affiliated with [[Studio Wanpack|'''{{font color|#007A5E|Studio Wanpack}}''']], and became a freelance animator after the studio's disbandment. Yamazaki joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' anime in 2004, starting with [[Love, Ghosts, and World Heritage|'''Episode 348''': Love, Ghosts, and World Heritage (Part 1)]]. In 2009, he began to serve as a regular key animator and animation director for Studio Wanpack.

Yamazaki took over [[Masahisa Koyata]]'s position as a regular episode director for Studio Wanpack, starting with [[The Revolving Sushi Mystery|'''Episode 549''': The Revolving Sushi Mystery (Part 1)]]; it was not until [[The Devil Hidden in the Tennis Court|'''Episode 602''': The Devil Hidden in the Tennis Court]] when he formally stepped down from the role. Whereupon, the regular episode director for the studio was changed to [[Tomomi Ikeda]].

In addition, from [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|'''Episode 701''': The Jet-Black Mystery Train (Departure)]] onwards, Yamazaki participated the ''Detective Conan'' anime production under the name of a freelance animator solely.
