Career

Shiotsuki joined Hadashi Pro in the early 2000s as a rookie in-between animator. Within a few years, he left the studio and joined Shaft around 2003. Initially, Shiotsuki continued with in-between work, but was promoted to key animator within a year; and by 2006, he was doing animation direction work. In 2008, Shiotsuki received his first job as a character designer for one of the Shina Dark music videos.[1] Soon thereafter, he became more involved with Shaft's works as a main staff member taking on a variety of different roles from accessory designer, to chief animation director, and so forth. His first character design work for a televised anime, however, came in 2015 when he designed the characters for Gourmet Girl Graffiti.[2] In 2022, he designed the characters for the Strike Witches spin-off series Luminous Witches.[3]
