Hiroyuki Taiga (大河 広行 Taiga Hiroyuki) is a Japanese animator, animation director and mechanical design artist. He has worked on several anime productions including several of Bandai's Gundam series.
Hiroyuki Taiga was the man in charge of designing the majority of the major Maximals and Autobots from Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo and Car Robots. His character model art style is most notable for its use of mid-to-low 3/4 angles that look up at the robot. Hiroyuki also appears to stick more to designing the rounder Beast Era-styled designs, over the boxy Generation 1-esque designs.
