Hiromasa Yonebayashi is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Hiromasa Yonebayashi as Japanese animator and animation director (1973-).
Hiromasa Yonebayashi was born at Nonoichi in 1973. His recorded nationality is Japan. He trained at Kanazawa College of Art.
By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.
The record gives his roles in the industry as animator, animation director and film director.
Among his best-known works are Kūsō no Sora Tobu Kikaitachi, Arrietty and When Marnie Was There. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.
He was nominated for Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
That the work was made from Japan shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Hiromasa Yonebayashi is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
