Head Directors and Chief Producers of Toku

[Fantasy Leader]

Since we all know a lot about the writers of Toku, I thought about making a thread that could focus on the directors and the producers of each toku season. I believe these two areas have a lot of creative input that greatly affects the shows (not sure if as much as the writers. But definitely enough to affect each show's overall outcome). So, basically, point out who did what, and what each person's strengths and weaknesses are for each show. Hopefully I'm not missing any other major position that helps affect the shows (if I am, please mention it and we can talk about that as well).

Kuuga's Producers:
Yūmi Shimizu
Takeyuki Suzuki
Shigenori Takadera

I dont know the director. Can anyone find it?

Agito's Producers:
Saeko Matsuda
Shinichiro Shirakura
Naomi Takebe
Hideaki Tsukada

Cant find the director on wiki.

I also think the action choreographer is kinda important. But probably only in Kuuga and Agito, where they tried to make it a bit realistic action-wise.

You'll be here all night if you wanna figure out who directed what, that tends to change depending on the episode. Ryuuta Tasaki has done a lot of the first episodes and major episodes within series.

 

[Fantasy Leader]

I know Takao Nagaishi did a lot of directing, starting with Changeman. But I guess if it's not worth the time to go over the directors, then I guess I'll drop it.

As for the Action Directors, is it possible to find information on that?

Anyway, how about the producers? Are they worth the time to gather information on?

Whoa! Takeyuki Suzuki did a ton of stuff! Wow. And I gotta say he certainly did a pretty good job, judging by the shows he worked on. Thank you Shougo! :thumbs:

 

[Shougo B'Stard]

I think I might have made a slight mistake... it seems for Kakuranger and Ohranger, Takeyuki Suzuki had equal credit with a returning Susumu Yoshikawa. Sorry! :sweat:

 

[ShinnGun]

Whoa! Takeyuki Suzuki did a ton of stuff! Wow. And I gotta say he certainly did a pretty good job, judging by the shows he worked on. Thank you Shougo! :thumbs:

And he also did Kamen Rider Dragon Knight as producer along with the Adness guys.
