Wishing a very happy 85th birthday to writer, director, and visionary Yoshiyuki Tomino, the architect of Gundam and one of the pillars of anime history. Since the very genesis of what we know as anime, Tomino has been a defining figure in the industry, leaving behind a massive cultural footprint and lasting legacy. From Gundam to Ideon, Dunbine, L-Gaim, and King Gainer, his vision reshaped mecha and anime storytelling. Decades on, he continues to inspire creators and fans around the world. Along with Shukou Murase, Tomino is one of the men I credit with saving my life. Through their work, they introduced me to a world of stories that expanded my perspective and brought so much light into the darkness of my life. And for that, I am forever grateful. #富野由悠季
