Japanese animator who worked on in-between animation for the original Dragon Ball series and contributed to other anime productions across multiple decades.
Miyuki Takeda handled in-between animation for the original Dragon Ball, working on five episodes across different sagas including the Red Ribbon Army, General Blue, Commander Red, and Fortuneteller Baba arcs. Her work spanned episodes 39, 45, 56, 63, and 70, contributing to the foundational animation that established the series' movement patterns. In-between animation required significant skill and volume of work to produce the frames that translated director vision and key animator artwork into the finished product.
Takeda's career extended beyond Dragon Ball to include work on anime like Allison and Lillia and Viper's Creed, where she handled both in-between animation and 3D animation work. Her involvement in the original Dragon Ball series connected her to the franchise's formative animation production, during a period when hand-drawn anime required enormous in-between labor to achieve quality action sequences.
