Shōji Kawamori (河森 正治 Kawamori Shōji) is a renowned Japanese mechanical designer. He was born on February 20, 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 creating and writing The Super Dimension Fortress Macross as well as having designed the transforming VF-1 Valkyrie fighter jet/mecha and other mechanical design for the series, and for his work on Escaflowne and Eureka 7. A toy version of the Valkyrie was later used as the Transformer Jetfire.
Kawamori 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.
