Sachiko Shimamoto

Sachiko Shimamoto handled ink and paint duties on episode 76 of the original Dragon Ball series and provided the same technical expertise to the Dragon Ball Z film The World's Strongest. This work involved translating animation line art into finished color, a process requiring precision and adherence to color models. Her contributions, while technical in nature, formed an essential part of the visual realization that audiences experienced in both television and theatrical contexts.

Beyond Dragon Ball, Shimamoto contributed xerography work (a color separation and printing technique) to One Piece: The Movie and the historical anime Sangokushi, demonstrating technical expertise across multiple production departments. Her work in color and xerography represented specialized skills within anime production that required both technical knowledge and artistic sensibility to execute properly across diverse projects.
