Love Live! Character Designer Yūhei Murota Gets Married
posted on by Eric Stimson
Yūhei Murota, the character designer of Love Live! School idol project, revealed on his Twitter account on March 10 that he had gotten married last month. While his wife's identity is unknown, he explained that he chose that day to spread the word because it was his new wife's birthday. "I'll do my best [to foster] a happy household and job!" he tweeted.
Murota, who is 31, originally intended to study industrial design, but instead opted to become an animator and character designer. He mostly works for Sunrise Studio 8. Although Love Live! is his sole character design credit, he was worked as a key animator on a wide range of anime, including Tiger & Bunny, Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail and Gintama. He also appeared on the radio show "Eriko Matsui/Fumiko Uchimura: My Love Story" twice in December as a guest.
