{{nihongo|'''Hiroshi Ogawa'''|小川 浩|Ogawa Hiroshi}} is a Japanese animation director and mechanical designer.

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Hiroshi Ogawa was originally a member of "[[wikipedia:ja:アンモナイト (デザイン集団)|Ammonite]]", a design studio created in 1983 by Ogawa, [[Hirotoshi Okura]] and [[Takashi Ono]], in an attempt to revive [[wikipedia:Tatsunoko Production|Tatsunoko Production]]'s "character room", which specialized in mechanical design, the creation of props and machines like cars, trains and airplanes, for television animation series<ref>月刊アニメック 1984年7月号 第80頁・第81頁 -「メカデザイナーの視界＜5＞ ●スペシャリスト」</ref>. With Ogawa responsible for design, Okura responsible for the machines' functions and Ono as director, the studio soon caught the eye of big production companies for its efficient task division. The trio's working style was later an inspiration in the animation series "[[wikipedia:Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross|Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross]]", where a group a three alien triplets control their society in a similar fashion<ref> 小学館『THIS IS ANIMATION ザ・セレクト(10) 超時空騎団サザンクロス スペシャル・ガイドブック』メインスタッフ座談会 第109頁。</ref>.<br />
<br />
The studio later renamed itself to "Studio Santa Claus" (スタジオ・サンタクロース), but later closed down. From then on, Ogawa worked as an independent mechanical designer. He joins the production team of ''Detective Conan'' in late 2018 and is tasked with mechanical design, taking over from [[Kumiko Shishido]]. He has responsible for mechanical design ever since and notably did the mechanical design for movies [[Movie 26|26]] and [[movie 27|27]], released in 2023 and 2024 respectively.<br />
<br />
He was responsible for prop design (similarly related to mechanical design) in season 1 of the [[Zero's Tea Time Staff Listing Season 1|Zero's Tea Time anime]] for episodes 1, 2, 5 and 6.<br />
