Japanese fantasy artist influenced by [[Manga]], psychedelic and pop art, art nouveau and ukiyo-e. He's mainly worked in animation, illustrations, and video game conceptual designs.
 
His works include:
* He's been involved in ''every single game'' of the main ''[[Final Fantasy (Franchise)|Final Fantasy]]'' series to some degree.
** Title logos for each title in the main series. Up to the [[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|sixth entry]], he was the series' character designer. He has since handed that duty to [[Tetsuya Nomura]] and has produced promotional artwork for each entry thereafter.
** He also did ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'''s character designs, as ''FFIX'' was meant as a throwback to the first six games in the series. Ironically, however, ''FFIX'' is the only installment of the main franchise whose [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Logos_of_Final_Fantasy central logo] was designed by someone else than Amano.
* ''[[AngelsAngel's Egg]]''
* ''[[Demon City Shinjuku]]''
* ''[[Genesis Climber Mospeada]]''
* Cover art and interior illustrations for the ''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'' light novel series, as well as the character designs for the first movie.
* ''[[Guin Saga (Light Novel)|Guin Saga]]''
* ''[[Radio City Fantasy]]'', an early surrealist OVA scripted by [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Takeshi Shudo]].
* ''[[The Sandman]]: The Dream Hunters'', in collaboration with [[Neil Gaiman]].
* The illustrations for the Japanese editions of the ''[[The Elric Saga|Elric]]'' novels. Which, along with ''D'', make him one of the roots for [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]].
* Character designs for most of [[Tatsunoko Production]]'s landmark early anime, including ''[[Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (Anime)|Science Ninja Team Gatchaman]]'' (which makes him more or less the godfather of the [[Five -Man Band]]), ''[[Speed Racer]]'', and several of the ''[[Time Bokan]]'' series, including ''[[Yatterman (Anime)|Yatterman]]'' (which makes him more or less the godfather of the [[Terrible Trio]]).
** He also designed the original ''[[Tekkaman (Anime)|Tekkaman]]''... so he is the godfather of '''''SPACE LANCE'''''!
* The covers of Japanese neo-classical metal band [[Galneryus]]'s first three albums, ''The Flag of Punishment,'' ''Advance to the Fall'' and ''Beyond the End of Despair''.
* ''[[Marvel|Elektra and Wolverine: The Redeemer]]''. No, really.
