Sayo Yamamoto Biography

After a few years of working on storyboards and art for other projects, including movies Redline and Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, she was approached by a producer to create a new Lupin III series, with full creative control. It was Yamamoto’s own idea to have the series take place before the start of the 1971 Lupin series, directed by Masaaki Ōsumi, and to have character Fujiko Mine in the starring role.

Sayo Yamamoto (山本 沙代 , Yamamoto Sayo, born April 13, 1977) is a Japanese anime director. She is known for directing the critically acclaimed anime series Michiko & Hatchin, Yuri on Ice, and Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. After graduating from the College of Art and Design in Tokyo, she began work at Studio Madhouse, where she had her directing debut at age 25.

During her time working on Samurai Champloo at Studio Manglobe, she was offered the chance to direct a project with full creative control. At the time, she was busy with work on Champloo, so she thought about what kind of project she wanted to direct for about a year. During that time, she took a trip to Brazil where she found the inspiration for her first series Michiko & Hatchin. The series, about an ex-convict and a young girl in search of the girl’s father, was released in 2008.

Fujiko Mine was awarded the “New Face” award from the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2012.
