Biography
Akio Kawamura was originally affiliated with Axel Corporation (アクセル), but he quit the studio after a few years, and currently a freelance animator.
Kawamura joined the production of the Detective Conan anime since the beginning. With the first episode credited was Episode 3: An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case. As such, he is considered the second animation director for the anime, after Masatomo Sudo. Since then, he consistently did animation direction works, and also served a storyboard artist and sub-character designer for some episodes as well.
Kawamura was absent from the anime production during the second half of 1998, due to him working on the Two Hour Special Episode 129: The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case that was scheduled to air in 1999. He was responsible for a few famous scenes in that episode. For example, the scene which Haibara deliberately scared Conan was from his hands. After this episode, Kawamura stopped doing works for the anime for ten years. However, he still served as animation director, assistant animation director, layout, technical director and key animator for the movies.
In 2009, Kawamura returned to the anime production team, and served as the animation director for episodes outsourced to BIG BANG until present. From this point onwards, his name in the credits had changed from the full kanji "河村明夫" to full kana "かわむらあきお".
