Biography

From the 1980s to the 1990s, Kumiko Shishido was affiliated with studio Axel, and often worked as animation director jointly with fellow animators such as Masato Sato and Akio Kawamura.

Kumiko Shishido has worked substantially within the Detective Conan series, and is considered as a veteran who was already involved in the anime production since the beginning - in 1996, starting with the 3rd episode of Detective Conan An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case, she joined the production. At the outset, Shishido frequently served as a key animator within the episodes where was Akio Kawamura the animation director: when Akio became rather occupied and could not be in chrage of the animation correction on shcedule, Shishido would also replace him as animation director to fulfill the working rotation. After 1999, when Akio temporarily left the Detective Conan anime production team, Shishido served as animation director and key animator irregularly, mainly for significant episodes.

During the Masato Sato directional era, compared with animation direction and key animation, Shishido was more inclined of doing more jobs upon the production of openings and ending, design works etc; and amazingly served as chief animation director in the 1 Hour Special Courtroom Confrontation III: Prosecutor as Eyewitness in 2007.

In addition, Shishido was in charge of the design works in a considerably number of episodes in the Detective Conan anime. Covering an immense stint of period: mostly between episode 163 and episode 920.
