Kazuya Tsurumaki is an anime director working for
Studio Gainax, who could be considered the successor to
Hideaki Anno. He started out working with Anno on
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and
Neon Genesis Evangelion. After Anno quit working on
Kare Kano due to
Creative Differences, Tsurumaki took over the director's duties. Since then, he has worked on several major projects for Gainax, including
the remake of
Anno's magnum opus.
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.
