Noriko Iidaka

Iidaka provided key animation for 13 episodes of the original Dragon Ball series, spanning the Emperor Pilaf Saga (episodes 7, 13), the Tournament Saga (episodes 17, 24), the Red Ribbon Army Saga (episodes 30, 37, 42), the General Blue Saga (episodes 47, 53), the Commander Red Saga (episodes 60, 67), and the Fortuneteller Baba Saga (episodes 74, 79). Her early-series animation helped define the visual language of Akira Toriyama's adaptation as it transitioned from manga to screen.

Beyond Dragon Ball, Iidaka contributed to theatrical productions like Angel's Egg and the Urusei Yatsura: Lum The Forever film, as well as television work on Hey! Bumboo and Kickers, establishing herself as a foundation animator in the medium's expanding landscape.
