Masaki Kajishima (梶島 正樹 Kajishima Masaki, born March 16, 1962), is a Japanese anime artist who works for AIC in a freelance capacity. He is best known for his work on Tenchi Muyo! and Dual! but has had a hand in creating several other anime. The main character of Tenchi Muyo!, Tenchi Masaki, was named after Kajishima (although the "Masaki" in Tenchi's name is the character's surname and is written with different kanji).[1]
Kajishima was born in Japan in Okayama Prefecture. He was educated at the Osaka Design College.
Aside from his anime works, he has also written and published a collection of several dōjinshi dubbed Kajishima Onsen, comics, and stories. He is also the author of the Tenchi Muyo! GXP novels.
