Biography
Since 2013, Kaoru Nagakawa was involved in the production of Detective Conan anime, as key animator within the episodes outsourced to Azeta Pictures. In 2019, they became the animation director after persistantly doing key aniamtion for the studio for six years, starting from Episode 929: A Woman Standing by the Window (Part 1), until present.
However, their works as animation director was quite controversial, since they sometimes contribute to numerous collapsed frames, leading to art styles rather inconsistent (due to the increase in the number of animation directors per episode), as well as the detachment from the anime character design.
