5 | His works include: |
6 | * ''Every single game'' of the main ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series to some degree. |
7 | ** [[http://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Logos_of_Final_Fantasy Title logos]] for each title in the main series. |
8 | ** Up to the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI sixth entry]], he was the series' main character designer. He has since handed that duty to Creator/TetsuyaNomura, though he still produces his own promotional artwork. He also did ''Final Fantasy IX''[='=]s character designs, as ''FFIX'' was meant as a throwback to the first six games in the series. |
9 | * ''Anime/AngelsEgg'' |
10 | * ''Literature/DemonCityShinjuku'' |
11 | * ''Anime/GenesisClimberMospeada'' |
12 | * Cover art and interior illustrations for the ''Literature/VampireHunterD'' light novel series, as well as the character designs for the first movie. |
13 | * ''Anime/{{Gibiate}}'' |
14 | * ''Literature/GuinSaga'' |
15 | * ''Anime/RadioCityFantasy'', an early surrealist OVA scripted by Creator/TakeshiShudo. |
16 | * ''Literature/TheSandmanTheDreamHunters'', in collaboration with Creator/NeilGaiman. |
17 | * The illustrations for the Japanese editions of the ''[[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric]]'' novels. |
18 | * Character designs for most of Creator/TatsunokoProduction's landmark early anime, including ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' (which makes him more or less the godfather of the FiveManBand), ''Anime/NeoHumanCasshern'', ''Anime/SpeedRacer'', and several of the ''Anime/TimeBokan'' series, including ''Anime/{{Yatterman}}'' (which makes him more or less the godfather of the TerribleTrio). |
19 | ** Designing the original ''Anime/{{Tekkaman}}''... so he is the godfather of '''''SPACE LANCE'''''! |
20 | * The covers of Japanese neo-classical metal band Music/{{Galneryus}}'s first three albums, ''The Flag of Punishment,'' ''Advance to the Fall'' and ''Beyond the End of Despair''. |
21 | * ''[[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Elektra and Wolverine: The Redeemer]]'', written by Creator/GregRucka. No, really. |
22 | * Creator/YoshikiTanaka's novel series ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'' (or, in Japanese, ''Arslan Senki''). He did the covers, additional illustrations plus drama CD illustrations. Most of his work on ''Arslan'' was published in the artbook ''Tenma no yume - The Heroic Legend of Arslan'' which features additional poetry by Yoshiki. |
23 | * Hiroshi Aramata's ''Literature/TeitoMonogatari'' novel series. He did the covers for its first republication. |
24 | * ''Anime/LilyCAT'' had Yoshitaka provide character and monster designs. |
25 | * The original designs of Yamaha's [[Characters/VocaloidYamaha ZOLA PROJECT]] for Music/{{Vocaloid}} 3. |
26 | * He's also a Music/DavidBowie fan, [[http://yoshitaka-amano.kouryu.info/gal-eng-divers-return_duke-p-1.html apparently.]] |
