He is famously-known for his abundance of the resplendent ideas when working on the episode direction for animation works. He usually can contribute to several interesting scenes, even if the overall production is poor, he can still perform impressively. In 2023, he became the director of the anime ''[[wikipedia:My One-Hit Kill Sister|My One-Hit Kill Sister]]'' <small>({{lang|ja|異世界ワンターンキル姉さん〜姉同伴の異世界生活はじめました〜}})</small>: in the first episode, he was responsible for the storyboard and devised more than 20 battle key shots; he also invited Jun Arai <small>({{lang|ja|新井 淳}})</small> to serve as the effects animation director, and the general atmosphere of the anime suggested a strong "Yoshinori Kanada style". Likewise, in the ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]], his storyboard and episode directions are rather mesmorising and charming - he uses desaturated colours and unique colour filters to articulate the case characters' emotions and thoughts, the most typical example would be [[The Idol Whose Smile Disappeared]].

Hiroaki Takagi (高木 啓明 Takagi Hiroaki?), also credited as "髙木啓明", is a Japanese organizer, storyboard artist and animator. He takes part in the production of Detective Conan anime and movies.

Biography

Hiroaki Takagi was originally affiliated with Studio Wanpack. Takagi joined the production of the Detective Conan anime in 2014, as key animator in Episode 750: The Man Who Was Betrayed by the Sea and has since been key animator in the episodes animated by Studio Wanpack. In 2016, he first became assistant animation director in Episode 842: Turning Point on a Driving Date. He has also started to work as assistant episode director, and episode director since Episode 872: Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend (Squealing).

After Studio Wanpack disbanded in 2018, he along with Miho Tanaka and Yui Ushinohama from the same studio continued to work in Detective Conan. In 2019, he first worked as storyboard artist in the case Episodes 944~945: The Cost of Likes.

He is famously-known for his abundance of the resplendent ideas when working on episode direction for anime. He usually contributes to several interesting scenes; even if the overall production is poor, he can still perform impressively. In 2023, he became a director for the first time and directed My One-Hit Kill Sister (異世界ワンターンキル姉さん〜姉同伴の異世界生活はじめました〜): in the first episode, he was responsible for the storyboard and devised more than 20 battle key shots; he also invited Jun Arai (新井 淳) to serve as the effects animation director, and the general atmosphere of the anime suggested a strong "Yoshinori Kanada style". Likewise, in the Detective Conan anime, his storyboard and episode directions are rather mesmerising and charming - he uses desaturated colour tones and unique colour filters to articulate the case characters' emotions and thoughts, the most typical example would be Episode 1010: The Idol Whose Smile Disappeared.
