Hiroshi Koujina(神志那　弘志) was born in 1963. He graduated from Kumamoto Technical High School, the same school Hiroshi Watanabe(his senior in Studio Live), Osamu Yamasaki and Hirata Tomohiro attended(Source).

He has a Studio Live member ever since 1982. He was a main animator for many years, before starting to take more and more directing jobs after his first role as a director in "Grenadier: Hohoemi no Senshi".
