Itoh Ikuko
Itoh Ikuko (°ËÆ£°ê»Ò)'s art style has very fine and delicate lines
in the characters.
The episodes she supervises usually have remarkable consistency in the
character art.
Ms. Itoh was promoted to the position of the character designer when
Sailor Moon S started.
It is more than likely that the fine character design for Ten'oh Haruka
and Kaiou Michiru in the TV series was by Ms. Itoh's hands.
A specially interesting piece of work by Ms. Itoh is the last part of
episode 45.
"I thought if the four Soldiers were just drawn like ghosts, it would
have been too much of a laugh, so I drew them on illustration paper,
cut them out, and pasted them on cels.
These cels were then superimposed over other cels.
That gave them a transluscent look, and kept the feeling of flesh
for the four."
