Hiroyuki Okiura (沖浦啓之) is the kind of animator who animates so perfectly that he often gets accused of rotoscoping, but actual animators know he obvopusly doesn't because it looks TOO GOOD to be traced from a video.
Hiroyuki Okiura (沖浦啓之) was a natural prodigy at animation, who left high school at age 16, with no formal training to become a pro animator on Dougram (太陽の牙ダグラム). This was 1982, before digital technology and the internet made animation more accessible! 
By 1984, Hiroyuki Okiura made his debut as an animation director on Star Muskateer Bismark (星銃士ビスマルク) an original series from Studio Pierrot which was released in the west as "Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs"
