Members Only Learning at Lunch: Iwao Takamoto
If you missed the program, you can watch it online on JANM’s YouTube channel.
Join JANM’s collections staff for an exploration of the work of animator, TV producer, and film director Iwao Takamoto.
As a teenager, Takamoto and his family were sent to Manzanar, where he learned basic illustration. After the war, he was hired by Walt Disney Studios as an assistant animator. He eventually became a character designer for such Disney classics as Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Lady and the Tramp. Takamoto later worked at Hanna-Barbera Productions, where he became known for designing the characters of Scooby Doo and the Jetson family’s dog, Astro.
