[[caption-width-right:185:The man who changed the face of [[Creator/TMSEntertainment Telecom]], even more than Creator/HayaoMiyazaki.]]

Born in 1960, Toshihiko Masuda is one of the major directors at Telecom Animation Film. He joined with Telecom in 1980 as a in-between animator and became a director in 1983, taking over Hayao Miyazaki's unit after he left to go work at Creator/{{Topcraft}} to do ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind''. Masuda is known for his [[DerangedAnimation wacky]] and [[AnimationBump fluid]] animation, and is the one who set the style in Telecom's western productions in the '80s and '90s.

In more recent years, he's broken off into being a freelancer; not only working with TMS/Telecom from time to time, but also with TMS's partner studios Creator/StudioHibari and Creator/MagicBus among other companies.
