A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
上甲トモヨシ
Birthplace:
Ehime Prefecture, Japan
(From the about page on his website: http://tomoyoshi-joko.com/profile.html) Born in Ehime prefecture in May 1984. I came to Tokyo in 2003, entered Dept. of Animation, Faculty of Arts at Tokyo Polytechnic University as the first graduate, and studied under Taku Furukawa. After graduation, I went on to enter the graduate school of the same university in pursuit of animation. Having graduated in March 2009, I am currently a freelance animation creator while working at the Tokyo Polytechnic University as a part-time instructor. In 2010, I formed a creative unit “Decovocal” with my partner Ichinose. And since 2019, I have been a permanent director of Japan Animation Association. The representative works, “Mr. Cloud and Mr. Rain,” “BUILDINGS” and “Lizard Planet,” have been put on the screen in various countries worldwide and received a number of awards.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
