Biography
Etsuhito Mori (also credited as Etsushi Mori) is a Japanese animator whose career in television anime runs from 1985 to the present [1]. He has spent roughly two decades with a desk at Sunrise's Studio 1, though he takes on considerably more freelance work for other studios than internal Sunrise projects, to the point that production staff from outside companies are known to visit him directly [2]. His credits, concentrated in key animation and, increasingly in recent years, animation supervision, run across more than 400 productions, including the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, the Pokémon films, InuYasha, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Black Clover, Shaman King (2021), Digimon Adventure, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, with credits continuing into 2024's Urusei Yatsura [1]. That mix of a nominal studio home and heavy outside demand has made him one of the industry's busiest part-time animation supervisors by annual assignment count [2]. No verified birthdate or birthplace could be located for this profile, and his name appears in two slightly different readings across credits, 森悦史 and the occasionally used 森悦人, which specialist sources treat as a clerical variant rather than a separate spelling [1][2].
