OBARI AS FRAG.

Masami Ōbari (大張正己 Ōbari Masami, born January 24, 1966) is a Japanese character designer, animation director and overall artist known primarily for his work on mecha-related anime productions. As a director, some of his work includes Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector, Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, and episodes 5 and 6 of the original Bubblegum Crisis. As a mecha designer, some of his work includes Dancouga, Gravion, and Super Robot Wars. He originally worked for Ashi Productions and later formed his own studio, Studio G-1 (later known as Studio G-1 Neo). He was an animator on almost every Brave show (except Goldran, Dagwon, and GaoGaiGar). He was also a member of Studio OX.

According to Pioneer's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers laserdisc box set booklet,<ref>http://www.tfrid.com/pictures/Autobot/Autobot1.JPG</ref> Ōbari made his professional debut on The Transformers, directing and animating Optimus Prime's transformation sequence. Rather than animating Optimus's usual stock footage transformation sequence used in numerous episodes, however, he would confirm that what he worked on was the highly stylized transformation sequence seen twice during the episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3".<ref>{{#if: @tfwiki 確かにダンクーガ以前の、当時の僕の絵っぽいですね。この角度で変形するコンボイをフリーハンドで描いた記憶があります。これはおそらく、僕が初めて描いた原画だと思います。 |"@tfwiki 確かにダンクーガ以前の、当時の僕の絵っぽいですね。この角度で変形するコンボイをフリーハンドで描いた記憶があります。これはおそらく、僕が初めて描いた原画だと思います。"—|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/1190542458871934978 |Masami Ōbari|Masami Ōbari}}{{#if: Twitter |, Twitter|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2019 |, 2019{{#if: 11 |/{{#switch:{{#len:11}}|1=011|11}}{{#if: 2|/{{#switch:{{#len:2}}|1=02|2}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/1190542458871934978 ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/1190542458871934978%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/1190542458871934978%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/1190542458871934978%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/1190542458871934978%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> He mentioned on Twitter that while working on the sequence, he was given no instruction on what to do with the trailer, so he had to make it up.<ref>{{#if: 昔、コンボイの変形シーンの原画を描いた時、コンテナをどうするか悩んだなぁ…結局、何となくしれーっとフレームアウトさせたんだけど(^ω^; |"昔、コンボイの変形シーンの原画を描いた時、コンテナをどうするか悩んだなぁ…結局、何となくしれーっとフレームアウトさせたんだけど(^ω^;"—|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/234719368322363393 |Masami Ōbari|Masami Ōbari}}{{#if: Twitter |, Twitter|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2012 |, 2012{{#if: 8 |/{{#switch:{{#len:8}}|1=08|8}}{{#if: 12|/{{#switch:{{#len:12}}|1=012|12}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/234719368322363393 ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/234719368322363393%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/234719368322363393%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/234719368322363393%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/234719368322363393%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> He also states on Twitter that aside from doing the transformation sequence, he helped design Megatron's spaceship, possibly one seen early on in the series.<ref>{{#if: 自分がコンボイの変形の原画描いたり、メガトロンの宇宙船のデザインやった事って、あまり知られてないでしょ(￣ω￣) |"自分がコンボイの変形の原画描いたり、メガトロンの宇宙船のデザインやった事って、あまり知られてないでしょ(￣ω￣)"—|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/467316632897863681 |Masami Ōbari|Masami Ōbari}}{{#if: Twitter |, Twitter|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2014 |, 2014{{#if: 5 |/{{#switch:{{#len:5}}|1=05|5}}{{#if: 16|/{{#switch:{{#len:16}}|1=016|16}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/467316632897863681 ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/467316632897863681%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/467316632897863681%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/467316632897863681%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/G1_BARI/status/467316632897863681%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref>
