Koji Nashizawa

Nashizawa served as animation supervisor for five key episodes of Dragon Ball Super, spanning two major sagas. In the Future Trunks Saga, he oversaw episode 62, a pivotal moment where Trunks bursts forth with newfound power to defend the world. In the Universe Survival Saga, he directed four episodes that showcase intense multi-universe combat, including episodes 83, 89, 102, and 112, where Saiyan unity, mysterious warriors, love's explosive power, and Vegeta's resolve all take center stage. His promotion to supervisor role reflects his growing influence within the animation department.

Nashizawa's journey in Dragon Ball spans both Dragon Ball Z and the contemporary films. He initially worked as a key animator under legendary supervisors Minoru Maeda, Tadayoshi Yamamuro, and Naoki Miyahara during late Z production. After the Resurrection F film where he served as assistant supervisor, his career trajectory led to full supervisor credits in Super. This progression mirrors the career advancement of talented animators like Hiroyuki Itai, demonstrating how consistent work and artistic growth translate to expanded creative responsibility.
