Atsuko Ishizuka
is a Japanese animator, storyboard artist and director. She began her animation career after joining Madhouse in 2004. Career Ishizuka's journey to becoming an animator was rather unusual by industry standards in Japan.

During her education at the art school, Ishizuka made a number of short animated films for her own enjoyment, often set to music. One of these films, ''Gravitation'', which was later featured at the 2005 Tehran International Short Film Fes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
