Japanese in-betweener who contributed to the animation of the original Dragon Ball series during its television run.
Kenji Yokota worked as an in-betweener on the original Dragon Ball anime, providing crucial animation support on episodes 65 and 73. In-betweeners form the backbone of anime production, creating the transitional frames between key animation poses to ensure smooth character movement. Yokota's work helped maintain the visual consistency and fluidity of the series during its broadcast run.
Beyond his Dragon Ball contributions, Yokota's documented anime credits are sparse. He is credited with in-between animation work on Vampire Princess Miyu, suggesting he was an active participant in the anime industry during the 1980s and 1990s, though limited archival records make a more comprehensive career overview difficult to establish.
