From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yoshirō Kataoka (片岡義朗, Kataoka Yoshirō^?), also known by the nickname Hagera, is an anime producer and production designer born in 1945 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan^[1]. He has worked for the Tōkyū Agency, Asatsu DK, and NAS, and he currently works as a full time advisor at Marvelous Entertainment. His proactive approach to planning anime when he worked at advertising firms has made him a front runner in his field^[1].

Since 2000, Kataoka has worked on the Friday shōjo anime on TV Tokyo, including shows such as Hime-chan's Ribbon. In addition to being an anime producer, Kataoka produces anime musicals. He is also one of the founders of the Animax satellite channel and Aniraji^[1], a radio program devoted to anime, manga, games and light novels.
