'''Shoji Kawamori''' (河森正治 ''Kawamori Shōji'') is a renowned Japanese mechanical designer. He was born February 2, 1960, in Toyama Prefecture.<br />
<br />
He was one of the designers working for Takara on Diaclone and is known to have contributed to the design of [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Generation 2 manga (Japan-only)|Battle Convoy]] amongst others. However, he is most famous for having designed the transforming VF-1 Valkyrie fighter jet/mecha for the series [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Super_Dimension_Fortress_Macross Super Dimensional Fortress Macross] as well as Escaflowne and Eureka 7. A toy version of the Valkyrie was later used as the Transformer [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]].<br />
<br />
He 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 (G1)|Starscream]] for the ''Masterpiece'' line.<br />
