Biography
Hitoshi Kamata (鎌田均) is a Japanese animator whose credited work runs from the mid-1980s through the mid-2020s, almost entirely on the key animation and animation-direction side of the business rather than in a director's chair of his own [1]. The anime credit database Nautiljon lists him across more than 250 productions, with key animation credits including Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, One Piece, and the 2025 spinoff Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals, and animation-director credits on Yuri!!! on Ice, Dororo, Kingdom's fifth season, and Ninja Kamui, where he handled both key animation and animation direction [1]. That mix of long-running shonen action and newer prestige titles across four decades points to a steady career inside Japan's freelance animation pipeline rather than a small handful of signature projects. No birthdate, birthplace, or interview material is publicly documented for him, and beyond this credit-list database no independent profile or news coverage could be located [1].
