== Biography ==
 +
Michiyo Sakurai joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]] in 1997, starting with the 1 Hour Special [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 76''': Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]]. Thereafter she began to serve as a regular organizer, storyboardist, and episode director for the anime - acting exceedingly active and productive. Furthermore, she also has once served as sub-character designer for the anime original case [[The Fearful Traversing Murder Case|'''Episodes 92~93''': The Fearful Traversing Murder Case]] during this period. Whereas after [[The Murdered Famous Detective|'''Episode 186''': The Murdered Famous Detective (Part 2)]], Sakurai ceased the involvement in the ''Detective Conan'' anime under the name of Michiyo Sakurai {{jp|櫻井 美知代}}.
 +
 
 +
Starting with [[The Desperate Revival|'''Episode 192''': The Desperate Revival - Shinichi's Return]], in 2000, she is suspected to be using the alias Ichimaru Chika {{jp|市丸 知佳}} for further ''Detective Conan'' anime production<ref group="Note">'''Note:''' The disappearance of the name Michiyo Sakurai (櫻井 美知代) in the ''Detective Conan'' anime precisely matches the appearance of the name Chika Ichimaru (市丸 知佳), extremely befits storyboard artists' working schedule rotation back then; therefore, many ''Detective Conan'' fans speculated upon that. Notwithstanding the deficiency of references to support this assumption.</ref>, this continued until 2004.
 +
 
 +
According to Sakurai's X account, she has left her job as an animator since 2014.

Michiyo Sakurai joined the production of the Detective Conan anime in 1997, starting with the 1 Hour Special Episode 76: Conan vs. Kaitou Kid. Thereafter she began to serve as a regular organizer, storyboardist, and episode director for the anime - acting exceedingly active and productive. Furthermore, she also has once served as sub-character designer for the anime original case Episodes 92~93: The Fearful Traversing Murder Case during this period. Whereas after Episode 186: The Murdered Famous Detective (Part 2), Sakurai ceased the involvement in the Detective Conan anime under the name of Michiyo Sakurai (櫻井 美知代).

Starting with Episode 192: The Desperate Revival - Shinichi's Return, in 2000, she is suspected to be using the alias Ichimaru Chika (市丸 知佳) for further Detective Conan anime production[Note 1], this continued until 2004.

  1. ^ Note: The disappearance of the name Michiyo Sakurai (櫻井 美知代) in the Detective Conan anime precisely matches the appearance of the name Chika Ichimaru (市丸 知佳), extremely befits storyboard artists' working schedule rotation back then; therefore, many Detective Conan fans speculated upon that. Notwithstanding the deficiency of references to support this assumption.
  2. ^ Note: She was mistakenly credited as Michiko Sakurai (桜井 美智子 Sakurai Michiko?) in the remastered version.
