In 2009A.D., human beings are facing the greatest crisis they have ever experienced before. The era of confrontation almost as long as the history of mankind has at last come to an end and the first United Government for all human beings has recently been established, when armed extraterrestrials come close to Earth.

The forces of the Zentraedi start their attacks on Earth with overwhelming military strength. The invincible space battleship, Macross, which is to be launched on the day, is obliged to participate in an actual battle immediately after the launching ceremony. However, since Macross is still on the testing stage, it is defeated because of the failure in forlding (instantaneous transferring). With as many as 56,000 citizens on board, Macross is wandering out of the Solar System into its circumference.

The Zentraedi are coming after Macross with their formidable forces. Without knowing the fate of Earth, Macross sets out on its long, trouble-plagued journey back to Earth.

Kawamori Shoji - Mechanical designer

Date of birth: 02-20-60
Hometown: Toyama, Japan

Kawamori Shoji is not only an uncommonly gifted artist but a director and producer as well. An engineering major in college, he started designing professionally when he was involved with the production staff for Uchu Senkan Yamato and was then hired to design mecha for an episode of Uchu Kaizoku Captain Harlock [Space Pirate Captain Harlock] (1978-79) when he was a sophomore in college. While still a student, Kawamori began work on the Macross TV series (1982-83) not just as a mecha designer but also as creator/director.

Kawamori may be best known as the designer of the VF-1A Valkyrie from Macross. It and other designs have established him as a (perhaps the) master of transforming mecha. He's also known for designing the RX-78 GP01 and RX-78 GP02 from Gundam 0083. Kawamori still works with Studio Nue on certain projects. The majority of his designs are sleek and aerodynamic although he's quite versatile - many people have trouble identifying Kawamori designs. He is sought after as a mecha designer and has worked on a large variety of projects and continues to produce and direct anime TV series and OAV's.
