Who is Masamune Sakaki?

Nice to meet you. My name is Masamune Sakaki (real name: Masafumi Sakaki, born August 24, 1973). I am active in Japan as a creator, technical developer, and author, and have been involved in a wide range of fields including anime, games, CG, and AI.

I specialize in character planning and crowdfunding, and for the representative project 'Tohoku Zunko (Zundamon),' I achieved a total of over 70 million yen in support. I have been passionate about programming and creation since I was a child, and I produced my own games during my student days. Since then, I have continued to explore the intersection of expression and technology.

In CG production, I have provided technical cooperation for anime works such as 'Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation,' 'Dragon Goes House-Hunting,' and 'Rurouni Kenshin,' and in game development, I have participated in the mobile 3D MMORPG 'Master of Fantasia' and 'Mobile Dynasty Warriors.' On the technical side, I developed the Blender add-on 'FreePencil' and am working on the evolution of education and expression methods.

Currently, I am focusing on writing the novel 'Wind of the Ocean.' While depicting a story where history and fiction intersect with Manchuria as the setting, I am also challenging myself with research into generative AI and new anime production methods. I am also interested in social proposals and creating future creative environments, such as proposals for gacha regulations and concepts for platforms that fuse anime and games.

I hope to continue using the experience I have cultivated to combine technology and creation to open up new expressions and a better future.

👇️I have created a question window for me. I have loaded over 50,000 characters of information about myself into it.

👆️I made a music video using generative AI! Please take a look!

👆️I started YouTube!

👆️Click here for the advance download of FreePencil; you will not be charged until it is upgraded. I am waiting for Blender's real-time compositing feature to support AOVs and render layers for the upgrade.
