Her student project was an animation about samurai using actor, and frequent Akira Kurosawa collaborator, Toshiro Mifune as an inspiration.〔http://www.fandompost.com/2012/10/02/animefest-2012-sayo-yamamoto-panel-report/ Retrieved January 6, 2013〕 While in the process of looking for a job after graduation, she showed this work to director Satoshi Kon. Enthusiastic about her potential, Kon intended to hire her to work on his second feature ''Millennium Actress'', but studio politics eventually caused her to leave the project.〔 She had her debut at Studio Madhouse working on the ''X'' television series headed by Madhouse director Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Soon after, she would have her first collaboration with directors Takeshi Koike and Katsuhito Ishii on the original video animation ''Trava: Fist Planet''. It was during her time at Madhouse that she began her work on anime opening and ending animations, which she would go on to direct for many other projects. Yamamoto has stated that it was during her work on ''Samurai Champloo'' where she felt she was first able to truly express herself.〔 ''Samurai Champloo'' also marks the first time she worked with frequent collaborators, director Shinichirō Watanabe and writer Dai Satō. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sayo Yamamoto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
