Works in Detective Conan
After graduating from secondary school, Yamanaka joined the Yumeta Company (梦太カンパニー), which is a Japanese animation studio. She then became a freelance animator after she quit the studio.
Yamanaka joined the production of Detective Conan anime in 1997, starting with The Train Trick Murder Case. Later on, she constantly served as the key animator for some anime episodes. She first worked as assistant animation director in The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case. After that, she began to work with Masatomo Sudo more often. In 2002, she served as the animation director of openings and endings, with Sudo. Until 2004, Yamanaka temporarily quit the production of the Detective Conan anime and focused more on the movies.
After Masato Sato stepped down from the director role, Yamanaka was back and did character design from episode 505 onwards, working with Sudo once again. She then quit the anime production in 2009, after finishing the animation directing work in the empty fort strategy arc of The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall. She only did key animation for two anime episodes afterwards: The Scarlet Truth in 2015 and the 3rd part of Kogoro Mouri's Grand Lecture in 2019.
