Takezou Nogame

The original creator of "Third Aerial Girls Squad." Prior to the events of "SHIROBAKO," Nogame had a manga titled "Sailor and F3." However, the manga had an atrocious anime adaptation. From then on, whenever his works are adapted into anime, he has strict control over it. This is exemplified when he rejected all of the first anime character design drafts for "Third Aerial Girls Squad."

When Director Kinoshita had different ideas on how to end the anime, Nogame initially refused because he thought Kinoshita misunderstood his idea. However, through a discussion with the director, Nogame accepts Director Kinoshita's idea.
