With a passion for the anime industry, Takeshi Takadera has made a significant impact through his work in sound production and design. After beginning his career as a recording assistant, he quickly honed his skills and expertise, transitioning into sound director roles in the 1990s to early 2000s.

After spending many years as a sound director at HALF H.P. STUDIO, a prominent Japanese sound production company, Takadera now embraces the freedom and creativity of being a freelance sound director. His contributions to the world of anime are extensive, with projects like Roshidere, Oshi no Ko, Kyo Kara Maoh!, Yowamushi Pedal, Laid-Back Camp, To Your Eternity, and RIN-NE under his belt. In 2023, he took on the prestigious role of sound director for the globally popular series, Oshi no Ko!

As a sound director, Takadera plays a crucial role in crafting the immersive world of anime. He oversees all aspects of sound, including dialogue, music, and sound effects. Collaborating closely with directors, he guides and directs actors during auditions and recording sessions, ensuring the perfect delivery of performances.

Beyond the recording studio, Takadera finds solace and inspiration in the great outdoors.
