[b]Aramaki Shinji[/b] (荒牧 伸志) (born October 2, 1960) is a Japanese anime director and mechanical designer, born in Fukuoka Prefecture. He was a member of Artmic.

He is noted for work on [[power_armor|powered exoskeletons]] and his [[mecha]] and CG design on several anime series.

Aramaki created mecha designs for many 80s and 90s anime series such as [[Kikou Souseiki Mospeada]] (the [[Mospeada (mecha)|]], the [[Legioss]]), [[Megazone 23]] (the [[Garland (megazone_23)|]]), [[Bubblegum Crisis]] and [[Gasaraki]]. More recently he designed mecha for [[Wolf's Rain]], [[Raideen (series)|]], [[Viper's Creed]] and [[Halo Legends]].

Many of his mecha designs are related or influenced by [[real life]] [[motorcycle]] designs, since he is an user and fan of that type of vehicles.

Aramaki has also directed several anime productions, including [i]Megazone 23[/i], [i]Gasaraki[/i], [[Appleseed]] and [i]Halo Legends[/i].
