Biography

Hiroyuki Notake first started as animator in 1993. He joined the production of Detective Conan in 2001, working on the movies as key animator for Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven; later persistently engaged within the key animation group. In the main anime aspect, he only started to do key animation in 2004, starting with Episode 377: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour (Part 1). Later on, he was spontaneously involved in the production of some significant episodes throughout the anime: a typical example would be the animation correction work of Episodes 927~928: The Scarlet School Trip, along with the key animation work of the remake Episode 1001: The Moonlight Sonata Murder (Part 2).

Conan supervised by Notake.

Noteworthy, Notake has also been the animation supervisor of the Detective Conan anime in episodes 710-719 shortly. He is regarded as one of the capable staff when it comes to animation supervision - according to some fans, his personal art style is a combination of Masatomo Sudo and Seiji Muta, ending up smooth and immaculate character outlines.

Meanwhile, he also does design-related works in Detective Conan: he served as prop designer jointly with Kumiko Shishido in three episodes from the Episodes 491~504: Clash of Red and Black series. He was also responsible for devising the exclusive J-League characters in Movie 16: The Eleventh Striker.

The Detective Conan movies are his main focuses, he became a regular staff ever since movie 12, and then did animation director work all along, even to this day.
