Yuichi Karasawa

Yuichi Karasawa supervised ten episodes of Dragon Ball Super beginning in the Universe 6 Saga with episodes 31 and 37, covering the journey to Master Zuno and Vegeta's clash with the sixth universe's Saiyan warrior. His animation direction carried through the Copy-Vegeta Saga's episode 44 and into the Future Trunks Saga with episodes 50, 57, 66, and 72. These episodes showcased some of the saga's most technically complex battles, from Goku's black-clad opponent reveal to Zamasu's divine emergence and the climactic exchange of killing techniques. In the Universe Survival Saga, Karasawa directed episodes 94, 106, and 121, handling Frieza's terrifying return and the final four-fold union sequence. His effects work earned comparisons to Yūya Takahashi, while his character refinement demonstrated a rounder yet more detailed interpretation of Yamamuro's established designs.

Before his animation supervisor debut on Super's episode 31, Karasawa worked with Studio Live on game cutscenes for Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Blast and Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi. He contributed key animation to Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, building his credentials within the franchise. His recognizable style features sharp three-tone shading, high-positioned character ears, and angular eyebrows. Work on Hunter x Hunter and Ushio & Tora established his broader credentials for handling dynamic action storytelling across multiple properties.
