Takeshi Shudō (首藤剛志) (August 18, 1949-October 29, 2010) was a Japanese scriptwriter best known for being the original showrunner and a frequent writer for the ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'', including its [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie first]] [[Anime/Pokemon2000 three]] [[Anime/Pokemon3 films]]. During the making of the second movie, he also created the Pokémon Lugia, the first in the series to not be made in-house at Creator/GameFreak; Shudō originally envisioned Lugia as a film-exclusive character and was surprised to see it included in ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver''. He relinquished his role as series constructor (or showrunner) early in the Johto saga (following production of the third movie in 2000), although he would continue to contribute scripts until 2002; [[Recap/PokemonS5E35EnlightenUp Episode 244]], aired towards the end of Johto, was his final episode.

* EccentricArtist: A more depressing example than most. As stated in the description, Shudo had a history of substance abuse, on top of untreated depression that often made him rather erratic and [[PrimaDonnaDirector temperamental]] to work with. This would ultimately end up claiming his life.

This His tendency to formulate his characters' dialogue through an intense form of method acting (in which he would ultimately end up claiming allegedly wander around speaking with their mannerisms and personalities for days at a time) likewise may have drained him emotionally (further fuelling his life.depression and substance abuse) and further complicated communications with other production staff. Several of these behaviors would eventually contribute to his death in 2010.

* GodNeverSaidThat: A particularly egregious example. After his death, fans of his work like to greatly exaggerate just how much contempt he had for the executives of the anime, and that [[Literature/PocketMonstersTheAnimation his original novels]] were made specifically to spite them. This isn't true; in truth, while he was frustrated by his ideals often being [[LighterAndSofter softened]] by [[ExecutiveMeddling the higher ups]], he mostly maintained an amicable work relationship with those that worked on the anime, and merely wished to explore the [[FridgeHorror darker implications]] of the Pokémon world rather than making it dark specifically to spite the franchise. His willingness to stick with the anime until mid-to-late Johto gives an ideal of his willingness to work under the confines of the higher ups.
