Naoki Miyahara

Miyahara joined the Dragon Ball Z staff in early 1990 and remained involved through the entire run of Dragon Ball GT. As a key animator first, he evolved into an animation supervisor, overseeing episodes 159, 199, 280, and 289 of Z, as well as episodes 6 and 64 of GT. His supervisory work typically brought together fellow Toei animators, maintaining a cohesive visual style across the franchise's later chapters. He was also assistant animation director for The Path to Power and CG director for Battle of Gods, adapting to new production methods as the franchise modernized.

Miyahara provided key animation for eight DBZ theatrical films, including The World's Strongest, The Tree of Might, and the three Broly chapters, as well as Bojack Unbound, Bio-Broly, Fusion Reborn, and Wrath of the Dragon. His post-Dragon Ball work included Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales, Digimon Adventure, and One Piece adaptations, demonstrating his range across the anime industry.
