Yasuji Mori (森康二 Mori Yasuji, January 28, 1925 â€" September 5,
1992) was an animator who worked with Toei Animation, while it was
still known as Toei Doga. He was also a famous illustrator of
children's books. Mori was responsible for one of the major animation
styles within Toei Animation. In The Little Prince and the
Eight-Headed Dragon Mori was the first to be credited as animation
director in Japan, although Akira Daikubara had the same post on The
Tale of the White Serpent but was not credited as that. As a senior
animator he formed many of the great animators of the next generation
(including Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Yasuo ÅŒtsuka, and Yoichi
Kotabe). He later left Toei Animation to work with Nippon Animation.
