Since the 1980s, Keita Amemiya has left his mark in countless corners of the universe of tokusatsu — Japanese science-fantasy cinema and TV — and beyond, in anime, video games and manga. A prolific director, he’s equally celebrated as a renowned designer of uncanny characters, creatures, and costumes. Drawing on his homeland’s rich traditions of design, on the dark romanticism of fairy-tale Europe, on mystical symbolism and gritty techno-punk, Amemiya never lacks for surprising innovation and a self-aware flair that stands out in his field. His special touch can be found in several KAMEN RIDER series, in the subversive MECHANICAL VIOLATOR HAKAIDER, and in his own original creations, like the legendary ZEIRAM, the enchanting anime TWEENY WITCHES, and the ever-expanding world of his GARO franchise. For his special Fantasia Master Class, Amemiya-san takes a look at the masks, monster and marvels of his imagination!
