Fair use rationale for Image:Mahiromaeda01.jpg

Image:Mahiromaeda01.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Manga Impact: The World of Japanese Animation, 6 December 2010, ISBN 978-0714857411; pg 149:

One of the premiere creative talents working in the anime industry today, Maeda Mahiro (born in 1963 in Tottori) is best known for his work as designer of the 'Angels' in Anno Hideaki's mecha masterpiece Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995). At the time of release, the sleek organic form and geometries of the 'Angels' were highly original. Maeda had earnt his spurs working as an inbetweener and animator for Studio Ghibli and, later, for Gainax on the space movie Wings of Honneamise (1987, dir. Yamaga Hiroyuki).
As a director in his own right, Maeda was responsible for Ao no Roku-go (Blue Submarine No. 6, 1998), an adventure based on the sixties comic by Ozawa Satoru, that exhibits Maeda's trademark inventiveness in character design and animation.
Maeda's designs combine delicate curved forms with sharp angles and points. His design aesthetic is uniquely animation-orientated, as the addition of motion combines with the quality of the shape and form to create a sensuous overall image.
Maeda's work reached a large international audience in Quentin Tarantino's two-part martial arts epic Kill Bill (2003), when he provided keyframe animation for the animated segments that develop the backstory of assassin O-Ren Ishii. His trademark movement animation style, with its fluid squash-and-stretch and intense detail, is also discernible in his contribution to the short film collection The Animatrix (2003).
