Yasushi Nirasawa.

[Mummylord]

He has to be one of the most awesome monster designers ever.

I know he worked on Blade, Kabuto, Den-o and Kiva. Plus Garo and some of the older kamen rider movies.

But what else has he done?

 

[Igadevil]

I love Nirasawa's stuff. As far as I know, he didn't work on Kiva, or anything Kamen Rider-related pre-Blade, but he's been listed as one of the a creature designers for Decade. I know he did the redesigned Gigan (and X aliens, I think) in Godzilla Final Wars.

 

[Mummylord]

Oh really, hopefully that means we'll get new monsters in Decade.

Don't get me wrong. There are pretty awesome monsters in the older shows. But I want to see new stuff as well.

Precisely! (Yes, he did design the Xilians, also.)

He also designed creatures on the second Hellboy movie, and also did unused designs for Edgar from Men in Black.

Gigan? Xilians? Godzilla? the? i love this person already.

Oh yeah I forgot about Hellboy. Thats still on my want to watch list.

Say did he do the monsters in Hibiki, or was that someone else as well?

 

[Impulse87]

I have a strong appreciation of monster designers especially now that I'm trying to create my own KR series

 

[konrei-sama]

he also designed one of the monster guardians on Eternal Poison PS2, Morpheus if I'm not mistaken and yes, I love Nirasawa's monster designs.

Blade monsters (undead) were the best, so if he did them then I trust his work.
