History Creator / KazuyaTsurumaki

Kazuya Tsurumaki (born February 2, 1966) is an anime director once working for Creator/StudioGainax but is now with Creator/StudioKhara, who could be considered the successor to Creator/HideakiAnno, and Anno has indeed described him as his protégé at several occasions. He started out working with Anno on ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'' and ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. After Anno quit working on ''Manga/KareKano'' due to CreativeDifferences, Tsurumaki took over the director's duties. Since then, he has worked on several major projects for Gainax, including [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion the remake]] of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Anno's magnum opus]]. ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' is perhaps his best-known work (in the West at least) as well as the only thing he's directed that Anno didn't somehow have a hand in[[note]]except for voice-acting a cat[[/note]].
