  • Shōji Kawamori (河森正治 Kawamori Shōji) is a renowned Japanese mechanical designer. He was born February 2, 1960, in Toyama Prefecture. He was one of the designers working for Takara on Diaclone and is known to have contributed to the design of Battle Convoy amongst others. However, he is most famous for having designed the transforming VF-1 Valkyrie fighter jet/mecha for the series Super Dimensional Fortress Macross as well as Escaflowne and Eureka 7. A toy version of the Valkyrie was later used as the Transformer Jetfire. Kawamori has recently returned to the Transformers franchise, supervising the design of a G1 Optimus Prime toy for Takara's Transformers Hybrid Style line, and a highly detailed Starscream for the Masterpiece line.

He attended Keio University in the same years as Macross screenwriter Hiroshi Ōnogi and character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto. He occasionally used the alias Eiji Kurokawa (黒河影次 Kurokawa Eiji) early in his career when he started as a member of Studio Nue. In 2001, he brought his mecha design talent to real-life projects when he designed a variant of the Sony AIBO robotic dog, the ERS-220. [1] He also helped to design various toys for the Takara toyline Diaclone in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, many of which were later incorporated into Hasbro's Transformers toyline. Kawamori created the original Transformers: Generation 1 Optimus Prime ("Convoy") toy design. Over 20 years later, he returned to Transformers by designing both the Hybrid Style Convoy and the Masterpiece version of Starscream for Takara.
