Obari Masami (大張正己) is a Japanese anime director, animation director and mecha and character designer.

大張正己 画集 ロボ魂-ROBOT SOUL- is the artbook of robot drawings by Obari Masami. It’s a 144-page paperback with dust jacket.

There’s this wrap-around strap on the cover that describes him as a “natural-born robot master”. It may not be too far from the truth. He has drawn robots for quite a number of anime and comics.

This is the whole list of titles where the robots come from, as they appear in the book:

The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird
The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn
The Brave Express Might Gaine
Brave Police J-Decker
The Brave of Gold Goldran
Dancouga – Super Beast Machine God
Jūsō Kikō Dancouga Nova
Metal Armor Dragonar
Dangaioh
Magic Knight Rayearth
Mobile Suit Gundam F91
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ
Invincible Super Man Zambot 3
Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3
Getter Robo
Mazinkaiser
Vanguard
Zone of the Enders
Transformers
Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos
Gravion
Gravion Zwei
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation
Super Robot Wars Z
It’s an impressive and almost scary list.
