Nobuteru Yūki (結城 信輝, Yūki Nobuteru, born December 24, 1962 in Tokyo) is a Japanese manga artist, illustrator, animator and doujinshi artist. He has designed characters for manga, anime and video games, and has frequently collaborated with director Kazuki Akane, including on his most famous work, The Vision of Escaflowne. After working at Artland and D.A.S.T. (Ichirō Itano's animation studio, which he ran after becoming independent from Artland), he is currently working as a freelancer.

Career[edit]

Yūki graduated from Saitama Prefectural Toda Shoyo High School and has been active in the school's "Manga and Anime Research Interest Club" (now Manga and Anime Research Club). He found business in the National Health Insurance but couldn't give up on being an animator, so he left and became an animator instead. He is good friends with Mamoru Nagano, Maria Kawamura and Fumio Iida (SUEZEN), and they used to go to Tokyo Disneyland on Christmas Eve, which is also Yūki's birthday.

He works on doujinshi under the circles The Man in the High Castle (高い城の男, Takai shiro no otoko) and Ubik (ユービック, Yūbikku), both references to the works of American science fiction author Philip K. Dick. The published doujinshi include key animation from his body of work and specially drawn manga. On the other hand, since he worked on Ralphilia Saga by Akara Arisato (Dengeki Bunko), he has been involved in several works as a guest member of the doujin circle La Moon.

Yūki has also attended several international animation festivals as a guest of honor, including Anime Expo, Animazement, Polymanga and Otakon.[1]
