Tatsuyuki Tanaka (田中達之) was born in 1965.

Tanaka’s illustrations are just as noteworthy as his animation. He’s released a artbook called ???????? WORKS and the greenish byzantine universe of his art has started to appear in his work for Studio 4C like his Fluximation video Wonder Bout, the music video for Akaiko-en’s “Koshin” as part of PES Next Generation, Japacon TV OP 1, and especially “Tojin Kit”, his entry for Genius Party Beyond (2008). Tanaka did almost all of the backgrounds for these on his own, effectively capturing the dilapidated urban landscape of his illustrations in moving form. Tanaka directed a short for Studio 4C’s Toruru’s Big Adventure omnibus.

Influenced by Hayao Miyazaki and Katsuhiro Otomo.
