Personal history

Kojima first got his start in the animation business in the 1980s, where he worked primarily project-to-project for a number of different companies, including Knack Productions and Tatsunoko Production. During this time, he was involved in television products as an episode director. In the 1990s, Kojima joined Madhouse as a permanent member, where he has remained since. During his years at Madhouse, he has been involved in dozens of productions as an animator, as well as helming several TV series, two movies, a theatrical short, and a TV special.

Directorial style

Since coming to work for Madhouse, Kojima has been primarily a drama director, and one who specializes in lengthy series. He has adapted two of Naoki Urasawa's manga, Master Keaton and Monster, both of which received critical acclaim. His most recent project is Piano no Mori, his first full-length theatrical film, which was released in Japan on July 21, 2007.
