Chikako Uesugi

Uesugi animated crucial moments across multiple DBZ sagas, with key animation on the Trunks special and in-between animation shepherding the flow from Frieza Saga battles through the World Tournament. Her contributions to episodes like Frieza's transformation and Cell's ultimate battle helped maintain fluidity during these high-stakes confrontations. The television series relied heavily on in-between animators to smooth the path between key frames, making her role essential to the overall animation quality.

Uesugi worked on several DBZ theatrical films including Dead Zone, Fusion Reborn, and multiple Lord Slug productions. Her animation credits also included Sailor Moon SuperS, suggesting specialization in dynamic character movement across action and magical girl genres.
