Masatomo Sudo (須藤 昌朋 Sudō Masatomo?) is a Japanese anime director, and character designer born in Hokkaido. He is best known for designing characters for the anime Detective Conan and working with the anime Lupin III. He works as character designer for Detective Conan anime, except from episodes 356 to 504, which was done by Mari Tominaga. He also works as character designer and chief animation director for the movies. Later, he also works as character design supervisor for Zero's Tea Time anime.

Biography

His first exposure to the industry was in 1980, when he did the in-between animation for Ashita no Joe 2 (あしたのジョー2). His first attempt of being an animation director was for PEACHBOY LEGEND (桃太郎伝説), in 1989. He then served as the chief animation director and character design for two movies of Lupin III (ルパン三世), from 1994 to 1995. He is currently a freelance animator, but formerly belonged to Studio AnnaPluck (スタジオあんなぷる), he mainly works for TMS Entertainment.

Masatomo Sudo is the person with the greatest influence on the animation style of the Detective Conan anime. He has served as the character designer of the anime since episode 1. After that, he did animation director work for some other episodes as well. Due to the fact that the character settings from the original manga had not yet been optimised and mature, Sudo's animation style unsteady too, which in turn contributed to more round-like character facial features. After a year progressed, the character design of the anime had settled down; the outlines of the characters' chins became rather appreciable. However, in 1997, Sudo's activity in the Detective Conan anime had decreased sharply, as he focused more on movies (Sudo has always served as the chief animation director and character design for the movies). But he still returned for some prominent episodes, such as Diplomat Murder Case, The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case, The 3 "K"s of Osaka Case etc.

Notably, in 2000, Sudo altered the character design of the series: Conan's jaw became more angular, and so was the other characters, they had a high resemblance to the original manga. In addition to those capable animation directors that the anime production team hired back then (for example Atsushi Aono, Miwa Oshima, Keiko Sasaki...), this increased the quality of the animation. In 2002, the anime switched to full-digital production. As a result, Sudo had done some fine-tuning on his character design, making the characters' chins even more noticeable. Allegedly, he himself disclosed that in order to make his character design sheets as close to the original work as possible, he always draws and traces some paintings from the manga before alterating the character design.

During the director Masato Sato era, the anime production undertook a big alteration. In which Sudo was transformed to work for the movies completely, accordingly, the Detective Conan anime character design was changed to Mari Tominaga. Sudo then became the anime character design again in 2008, working along with Junko Yamanaka, and later also with Seiji Muta and Nobuyuki Iwai respectively. During this time when Koujin Ochi was in charge of the Detective Conan anime direction, Sudo began to serve as "animation supervisor"[Note 1] for the anime in episodes 507-517; even he was not credited, but his peculiar art style was being recognised by several fans[Note 2].

In 2012, Ochi stepped down as director, and Yasuichiro Yamamoto became the director again. After that, animation supervisors began to get their credits in the ending of the anime. Sudo, meanwhile, started to experiment with different drawing techniques; thick outlines were widely used thereupon. Especially after 2021's 1000 remake of The Moonlight Sonata Murder, Sudo extended the use of thick outlines, and many other animators had also begun to use them. Nevertheless, Sudo's involvement in the Detective Conan anime has decreased drastically nowadays, but he still returns and occasionally serves as the animation supervisor or chief animation director for some significant anime episodes.

  1. ^ Note: This role was in fact only properly introduced by the next director Yasuichiro Yamamoto, despite Ochi being the one who first created the notion of this role. This role basically corrects the the work that has already been corrected by an animation director from the frames the key animators drew.
  2. ^ Note: Junko Yamanaka's art style was also being recognised. In the ending credits of the compilation movie The Scarlet Alibi, it was clearly shown that Yamanaka worked as an animation supervisor during this period, which backs up this "fan speculation".
