Seiichi Kinoshita, a middle-aged director at Musashino Animation, sports black hair, glasses, and a stocky build. Known for helming *Exodus!* and *The Third Aerial Girls’ Squad*, his career still bears scars from the catastrophic failure of *Jiggly Jiggly Heaven*, a project whose collapse tarnished his reputation and entrenched his tendency to overhaul storylines impulsively or procrastinate on storyboards—habits that strain productions.

Privately, he gravitates toward greasy meals and keeps his air conditioner perpetually active. His past lingers in other ways: his ex-wife claimed their dog Sela during their divorce, leaving an enduring wound, while any mention of *Jiggly Jiggly Heaven* reignites memories of his professional and personal unraveling.

Kinoshita’s visual design draws inspiration from director Seiji Mizushima, famed for *Mobile Suit Gundam 00* and *Fullmetal Alchemist*.
