Careers
Takanori Aki first worked at Konami, then worked in marketing at Banpresto before deciding to create his own company. In May 2001 he founded Good Smile Company as a talent agency, which was later involved in the production and distribution of sculptural products with his brother Max Plant, after meeting MAX Watanabe. At that time the company did not run well as a talent agent, and thus immediately moved completely in making and distributing numbers, which is now the main focus of his company, although he claimed to never carve anything himself. He also created Good Smile Racing, a division of the main company created from his passion for fast cars, which support racing teams and produce car accessories. Takanori has attended international events worldwide as a guest speaker for industry, including Anime Expo, and Anime Festival Asia.
