Ryouma Ebata

Ryouma Ebata(江畑　諒真) graduated from Amusement Media Academy in 2003.

His style has special character movement and timing, and he loves making characters "tremble". He often draws clothes' folds with angles. In the recent years, mainly after handling Sora no Method's ED alone, he handles a lot of EDs and OPs alone, directing, storyboarding, and animating them all by himself. His EDs and OPs have vibrant colours, even with the outlines and smoke. He likes adding walking sequences so they often include one.

He is mainly a character animator, but he is good with fighting scenes too. He used Flash in Birdy the Mighty: Decode. He has a good relationship(and tends to work) with Rewrite's director, Tensho(Motoki Tanaka), and probably with Sora no Method's character designer, Yukie Akiya.
