Yuki Yase (Japanese: 八瀬 祐樹, Hepburn: Yase Yūki) is a Japanese director and storyboard artist. He joined Satelight in 2005 as a production assisant. In 2010, Yase joined Shaft as an episode director, and made his series directorial debut with Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb.

Career

[edit]

Yase began his career in the anime industry as a production manager with Satelight in 2005.[1] He became an episode director with the studio and eventually left by the end of 2009. In 2010, he joined Shaft and directed two episodes of the Akiyuki Shinbo series And Yet the Town Moves.[2] In 2012, under the chief direction of Shinbo, Yase debuted as a series director with Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb,[3] and the following year directed Onimonogatari and Koimonogatari (the final two arcs of Monogatari Series Second Season) under chief director Shinbo and director Tomoyuki Itamura.[4] For Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb, Yase was originally just placed in charge of directing the first episode and the ending animation, but was also later asked to do the opening animation as well and was eventually asked if he was interested in the role of series director.[5] By the time he took on the role, the series' storyboards had been completed to episode 8.[5]

In 2014, Yase was given the directorial position for the anime adaptation of JIN's mixed-media project Kagerou Daze,[6] and in 2016/2017 would direct his final series with Shaft: Kubikiri Cycle: The Beheading Cycle and the Blue Savant.[7] The following year, he departed from Shaft, and in 2019 he directed the first season of Fire Force with David Production.[8] Yase has since continued to base himself out of David Productions; and while he did not return for the second season of Fire Force, he directed the studio's adaptation of Undead Unluck in 2023.[9] During this time, he also continued to contribute storyboards to some Shaft series.
