A few weeks prior, Amano toured their studio with a friend while visiting Tokyo, bringing with him a collection of loose leaf illustrations he intended to hand over.
The animation studio Tatsunoko Production, famous for Mach GoGoGo and Space Ace at the time, wanted the teenage Amano working for them.
Artist Yoshitaka Amano’s career began with a letter of acceptance sent to his home in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan when he was 15 years old.
