Profile

He began his career in 1979 with the studio Oh! Production.[1] He left the studio in 1986 to become a freelance, and soon went on to work on numerous projects as a key and supervising animation director for the noted animation studio Studio Ghibli, and with the famed director Hayao Miyazaki, of whose work he is himself an acknowledged fan.[1]

In 2003, he directed the cycling anime film, Nasu: Summer in Andalusia, set on the Vuelta a España road bicycle race, adapted from Iō Kuroda's manga Nasu, which Hayao Miyazaki, a fan of cycling, himself recommended to Kōsaka.[1][2] The film soon went on to become the first Japanese anime film ever to be selected for the Cannes Film Festival.[1][2][3]Template:User-generated source
