Ōmori Hidetoshi

Ōmori Hidetoshi (大森英敏, Ōmori Hidetoshi) is a Japanese character designer who designed characters for Mobile Suit Victory Gundam. His designs for Üsso Ewin and other characters emphasized their youth and vulnerability, reinforcing the series’ anti-war themes through visual characterization that made clear these were children in adult warfare.

Mobile Suit Victory Gundam

Working under director Tomino Yoshiyuki, Ōmori created character designs that deliberately emphasized youth:

• Üsso Ewin designed to appear genuinely child-like (age 13)
• Shakti Kareen and other young characters similarly youthful
• Adults clearly distinguished from children
• Character designs reinforcing tragedy of child soldiers
