{{nihongo|'''Yoshinobu Ando'''|安藤義信|Andō Yoshinobu}} is a Japanese animation director and key animator. He takes part in the production of ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]] and [[movies]].

== Biography ==
Yoshinobu Ando was originally a member of outsourcing animation studio [[wikipedia:ja:ネオメディア|Neomedia]] (ネオメディア), founded in 1969 and shut down in 2018, working at their [[wikipedia:ja:東中野 (中野区)|Higashinakano]] branch in Tokyo. He was first credited as an animator in 1986 in TV series [[wikipedia:Centurions (TV series)|The Centurions]], as key animator. In the 1980s, after Mitsuo Uji (宇治光夫) quit Neomedia to found new animation collective Studio Emu (スタジオ絵夢), Ando joined him, along with Tsutomu Oshiro (大城勉)<ref>'''Note''': No links to character [[Tsutomu Oshiro]] (大城努).</ref>. Studio Emu became known for its animation of robots ([[wikipedia:Mecha anime and manga|mecha]]), with fine highlights in the style of [[wikipedia:Studio Ghibli|Studio Ghibli]] animator [[wikipedia:Akihiko Yamashita|Akihiko Yamashita]], a trademark of Ando and Oshiro. In the 1990s, Ando, Oshiro and Kenji Kuroyanagi's animation of smoke for Studio Emu was comparable to that of [[wikipedia:Mitsuo Iso|Mitsuo Iso]] from Studio Zaendo. At the 135th, "Anime Style Effect", centered on Mitsuo Iso, [[wikipedia:Yoh Yoshinari|Yoh Yoshinari]] animated smoke in the style of Yoshinobu Ando. Thus, Ando became mainly active as a mecha animator. He achieved wide recognition in 1987 with Studio Emu for his participation in series [[wikipedia:Machine Robo: Battle Hackers|Machine Robo: Battle Hackers]], [[wikipedia:Metal Armor Dragonar|Metal Armor Dragonar]] and [[wikipedia:Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos|Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos]]. In the early 1990s, he was a key animator in [[wikipedia:SD Gundam Gaiden Sieg Zion Hen|SD Gundam Gaiden]], [[wikipedia:ja:機動戦士SDガンダム|SD Gundam MK-IV]] and [[wikipedia:Matchless Raijin-Oh|Matchless Raijin-Oh]], and later worked in the 1997-2000 anime [[wikipedia:Hikarian|Hikarian]]. While Studio Emu still exists, its presence has been more subtle since the 2010s<ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/sakuga/pages/2128.html</ref>.

Ando first worked with ''Detective Conan'' in 2013-2014, by becoming assistant animation director for the 18th movie [[Dimensional Sniper]]. He mainly animated scenes with action effects, similarly to his previous works as mecha animator. This would be reflected in movies 20 and 21, where he is credited as "action animation director". He continues to be active in movies, but playing only a small part as key animator. His first and only work with the main anime series is in episode 1005, which aired in May 2021, as key animation.

Ando has also collaborated with animation studios [[wikipedia:Sunrise (studio)|Sunrise]], [[wikipedia:Tatsunoko Production|Tatsunoko Production]] and [[wikipedia:ja:スタジオケルマディック|Kelmadick]], among others.
