{{nihongo|'''Hiroaki Takagi'''|高木 啓明|Takagi Hiroaki}}, also credited as "髙木啓明", is a Japanese organizer, storyboard artist and animator. He takes part in the production of ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]] and [[movies]].

== Biography ==
 +
Hiroaki Takagi was originally affiliated with [[Studio Wanpack|'''{{font color|#007A5E|Studio Wanpack}}''']]. He is famously-known for his abundance of the resplendent ideas when working on episode direction for anime. He usually contributes to several interesting scenes; even if the overall production is poor, he can still perform impressively<ref name="biography">[https://w.atwiki.jp/sakuga/pages/2112.html たかぎひろあき 作画@wiki]</ref>.
 +
 
 +
Takagi joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' anime in 2014, as key animator in [[The Man Who Was Betrayed by the Sea|'''Episode 750''': The Man Who Was Betrayed by the Sea]] and has since been key animator in the episodes animated by Studio Wanpack. In 2016, he first became assistant animation director in [[Turning Point on a Driving Date|'''Episode 842''': Turning Point on a Driving Date]]. He has also started to work as assistant episode director, and episode director since [[Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend|'''Episode 872''': Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend (Squealing)]].
 +
 
 +
After Studio Wanpack disbanded in 2018, he along with [[Miho Tanaka]] and [[Yui Ushinohama]] from the same studio continued to work in ''Detective Conan''. In 2019, he first worked as storyboard artist in the case [[The Cost of Likes|'''Episodes 944~945''': The Cost of Likes]].
 +
 
 +
In 2023, he became a director for the first time and directed ''[[wikipedia:My One-Hit Kill Sister|My One-Hit Kill Sister]]'' {{jp|異世界ワンターンキル姉さん〜姉同伴の異世界生活はじめました〜}}<ref group="Note">'''Note:''' In its first episode, Takagi was responsible for the storyboard and devised more than 20 battle key shots; he also invited Jun Arai (新井 淳) to serve as the effects animation director, and the general atmosphere of the anime suggested a strong "Yoshinori Kanada style". Likewise, in the ''Detective Conan'' anime, his storyboard and episode directions are rather mesmerising and charming - he uses desaturated colour tones and unique colour filters to articulate the case characters' emotions and thoughts, the most typical example would be [[The Idol Whose Smile Disappeared|'''Episode 1010''': The Idol Whose Smile Disappeared]].</ref>. The next year, he served as the director for the ''Detective Conan'' Planetarium Special [[The Shining Payload]].

  1. ^ Note: In its first episode, Takagi was responsible for the storyboard and devised more than 20 battle key shots; he also invited Jun Arai (新井 淳) to serve as the effects animation director, and the general atmosphere of the anime suggested a strong "Yoshinori Kanada style". Likewise, in the Detective Conan anime, his storyboard and episode directions are rather mesmerising and charming - he uses desaturated colour tones and unique colour filters to articulate the case characters' emotions and thoughts, the most typical example would be Episode 1010: The Idol Whose Smile Disappeared.
