Biography
Rei Yamazaki is an Animator who has worked on the Pokémon Main Anime since near the end of XYZ as Key Animator, since around the middle of Sun and Moon as Animation Director and finally as Character Designer and Chief Animation Director for PM2023. She made an appearance on POKENCHI 207 where she helped Shokotan with an important decision scene which was in the final episode of the Sun and Moon anime series.

POKENCHI 207 also correctly indicates the pronunciation of her name as Rei on the onscreen graphic. The Pokémon Company incorrectly romanized her name as Reina Yamazaki in the Movie 21 English dub credits.

She has originally worked as In-Between Animator, 2nd Key Animator and Key Animator for アクタス (Actas) before transferring to OLM.
