Yasuichiro Yamamoto (山本 泰一郎 Yamamoto Yasuichirō?), born January 6, 1961 in Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a Japanese anime director, and storyboard artist from Saitama Prefecture. He directed Detective Conan from episode 119 to 332, before being replaced by Masato Sato. He later became the director from movie 8 to movie 14, chief director for movie 15 and movie 16, and supervisor for movie 17.

In September 2012, he came back as the director for the anime since episode 667, and still directing the anime until now (except for episodes 678-679, which is directed by Koujin Ochi). Since episode 975, he co-directs the series along with Nobuharu Kamanaka.

Biography

Yamamoto joined Studio Boomerang in 1983. After serving as an animator, he then became a director in 1991. In the same year, he was also involved in the production of the anime Red Baron (レッドバロン), working with Masato Sato already (the two of them both joined the Detective Conan production later). Afterwards, Yamamoto joined the production of the Detective Conan anime in 1996. At first, he did several organizer, storyboard, and episode director works within the anime, representing Studio Boomerang, starting with the first part of Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case.

When his teacher Kenji Kodama resigned as director and only served as the chief director for the anime, Yamamoto became the director of the Detective Conan anime. At the same time, he also quit Studio Boomerang and went freelance; therefore, he no longer worked on episodes outsourced to the studio. Minoru Tozawa thus took over the job as an episode director for most Studio Boomerang episodes (even until the present). He then suceeded the director role for the movies from Kenji Kodama as well, being the director of seven Detective Conan movies. After that, he served as the chief director for movies 15-16, and the supervisor for movie 17. Later on, the Detective Conan movie director position was passed down to Kobun Shizuno.

After stepping down as movie director, he returned to anime, continued to contribute storyboards, and became the anime director once again after Koujin Ochi's resignation, until present. He then continue Ochi's legacy by introducing a proper "Animation Supervisor" (作画監修 ?) role for the anime to mantain the stability of the anime quality (the role didn't become regular until 2014 with episode 738).

Furthermore, when he was still the director of the Detective Conan movies, he also drew some key animation frames for the movies, but was not credited in the ending of the movies.
