[b]Miyatake Kazutaka[/b] (宮武 一貴) (Born September 21, 1949) is a japanese anime designer known for the mechanical design of the [[MACROSS]] series and a number of its continuations from Studio Nue. He has also contributed to the mecha design of other series such as [[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]], [[Techno Police 21C]], [[Ulysses 31]], [[Crusher Joe]], [[Orguss]], [[Seisenshi Dunbine]], [[Gunbuster]], [[RahXephon]], [[Sousei no Aquarion]] and [i]Mobile Suit [[Gundam SEED Destiny]][/i]. 

Miyatake also designed the [[power suit]]s in the 1988 OVA [[Uchuu No Senshi]], which he originally created for the Japanese edition of the novel [[Starship Troopers]] in the early 80s.

A humble genius, Miyatake Kazutaka seems to be the most easily overlooked man in [[mecha]] design despite being a prolific artist. He has displayed a versatile style and attention to detail that is impressive to behold. Miyatake has been described many times as the silent backbone of Studio Nue.
