is a Japanese video artist, animator, music video director, art director, and motion graphics designer. He is best known for his animated music videos "ME!ME!ME!" and "GIRL," which gained mainstream popularity both in Japan and internationally after being submitted to the Japan Animator Expo. He also works as VJ Cotobuki with Naoki Nagayasu.
Yoshizaki was born in Tokyo, Japan. At the age of 16, he was deeply impressed by Kōji Morimoto's MV "Extra" (music by Ken Ishii), which inspired him to work in animation. As a high school student, he started working in Gainax under the guidance of Hiroyuki Yamaga. He then entered Tama Art University and started working as a VJ in nightclubs all around Tokyo while studying animation under the mentorship of Kōji Morimoto at Studio 4°C.[1]
After graduation, he became a freelance motion graphics designer and art director, mainly for animated music videos and promotional videos. In 2011, for making Clammbon's Kanade Dance MV, he was selected as one of the top 100 video artists of the year in a magazine published by BNN Shinsha, Japan.[2] In 2013, he created the first-two original animated music videos "ME!ME!ME!" and "GIRL" in collaboration with TeddyLoid and Daoko. It was made as the 3rd and 31st episode of Japan Animator Expo, which has gone viral with over 100 million views on YouTube and achieved the highest number of views among all 36 episodes in the project. After working as a freelance art director for 18 years, he joined Khara in 2016.
