Kawamori is perhaps most famous for being a key creative planner in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross anime series.
In addition to the new animation film, Kawamori is collaborating with the consumer electronics manufacturer AVIOT on the Ridepiece project.
Self-described “vision creator” Shōji Kawamori confirmed at his Q&A panel at Anime Expo on Thursday that he is directing a new animation film that is slated for a 2025 opening.
Kawamori is also one of 10 co-producers of Expo 2025, the first time Osaka is hosting a World Expo in over five decades.
