I got to thinking and if this topic has already be posted...my apologies.

Anyway what other Animations the the Froating Head work on?

Macross (Of course...)

Escaflowne

Ghost in the Shell (Movie)

That's all I can think of. So any of you who know more about his projects please post away. ;)

According to his interview on an issue of Animerica magazine, he did some uncredited work on Space Pirate Captain Harlock. Newtype USA says his first work was as a guest mecha designer for Tosho Daimos (which was animated by Sunrise and Studio Nue).

Other notable works:

Crusher Joe

Cyber Formula GPX

Dangaioh (Now how can anyone forget that?)

Patlabor 2: The Movie (If I remember, he designed the spider-type police Labor.)

Armored Core (from the first expansion game to AC3.)

Kikaioh/Tech Romancer (Pretty much everything in the game.)

Speaking of the Great Froating Head - I picked up Kawamori's design works book for Cyberformula GPX. It's pretty cool. It's laid out the same way as the Macross design book, albeit, not quite as thick.

Where did the term froating head come from?

I believe that explanation can be found in either this forum's Newbie Questions page (in the Macross TV & Movie Series thread) or the old forum's Newbie Questions page.
