Биография

После окончания средней школы Ямане переехала в Токио и в течение двух лет посещала анимационную факультет технического колледжа Чиёды в Токио, работая студентом стипендии.

Yamane принадлежала Artmic , чей основным бизнесом является планирование аниме работ, где он работал над Mecha Designs для анимации, в основном OVA , в то же время получая руководство от Синдзи Арамаки , Хидеки Какинума и Кеничи Соноды . He participated in co-productions with foreign countries such as the United States and France, and spent some time in Paris. He was also involved in the remake of Tatsunoko Production's Casshan and Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.

Around the time Artmik went into financial difficulties, Yamane decided to become a freelance designer in 1994, as he began to work for Sunrise on Mobile Fighter G Gundam and made contacts.

Yamane designed the main robot for the first time in The Vision of Escaflowne. However, although his title was main designer, it is more correct to say that he co-designed the robot based on director Shōji Kawamori's first draft.

Yamane participated in Cowboy Bebop from the planning stage. After passing the audition, Yamane was entrusted with the mecha design by director Shinichirō Watanabe, making it his first work as a designer to create a mecha from concept. In episode 19, Wild Horses, he went beyond the position of mecha designer and proposed the plot of the episode. This work was a huge hit, and he also gained recognition as a mecha designer.

Yamane also participated in the next work, Infinite Ryvius, from the early stages, and was involved in creating the concept for the work.

Yamane subsequently worked on Argento Soma, designing a human-shaped mecha to symbolize the work, as well as most of the aircraft and facilities.

However, after those ambitious works, mecha design became increasingly fixed in the Japanese animation industry, and Yamane's free-thinking designs found it difficult to gain approval. Feeling stuck in a rut at work and a sense of entrapment in the industry, he began to think about leaving Tokyo and returning to his hometown to reconsider himself. He then returned to his home town of Shimane in 2000 at the age of 34, got married and found a large plot of land in Hamada City where he built a house. He thought it would be a good place to build a garage for tinkering with his car, so he could use his hobbies in his work, and it would also be a turning point for his career. At first, he was prepared to lose his job in anime, but the internet infrastructure made it easier to exchange image data, and he continued to receive offers of work from Tokyo.
