3	Japanese fantasy artist influenced by {{Manga}}, psychedelic and pop art, art nouveau and ukiyo-e. He's mainly worked in animation, illustrations, and video game conceptual designs.
4
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.]]
