The person behind the work
Shinichi Watanabe is a Japanese director, episode director and storyboard artist for anime, while also being a voice actor. Shinichi is best known for his over-the-top adaption of Rikudo Koshi's Excel Saga, in which he appears as the character Nabeshin. In addition to his appearance in Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy, his likeness has also appeared as NB in Tenchi Muyo!
GXP, Inu-Afro in Dotto Koni-Chan and in small role in Mahoromatic. He also does an unmistakable cameo of Nabeshin, which can be seen in Nurse Witch Komugi, although Shinichi had nothing to do with that project. In addition he made an appearance in the show EyeShield 21. More recently he made an appearance in episode 32 of Hayate no Gotoku.
Shinichi claims that the nickname Nabeshin (which is an obvious combination of "nabe" in Watanabe, and "shin" in Shinichi) came from God himself. (Not to be confused with the director Watanabe Shinichirou, which is most known for directing Cowboy Bebop)
