(おおきく振りかぶって), and Mitsunaka was appointed as action animation director for the series in 2010[1]. Ever since the sequel of that series was aired in 2010, he formally became an action animation director. In 2008, he was in charge of the screenplay and direction of the 226th episode of anime Sgt. Frog (ケロロ軍曹), thereafter he was frequently involved in the directing realm - notably, in 2012, he served as sub-director for anime Campione! (カンピオーネ!); in 2014, he directed Haikyu!! (ハイキュー!!), which was one of the most well-known works of his.
