Yoshihisa Araki was an anime screenwriter in the 70s and 80s. In Transformers he wrote some episodes of The Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, and Victory. Outside of Transformers, he wrote some episodes of other anime titles including the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Star Wolf, Anne of Green Gables, and Attacker You! (starring a volleyball player named You).
I do not know when he was born, or if he is still alive. I cannot find any photos. It is as if he is from a strange culture that respects privacy. I suspect he is at least retired, as he hasn't written any cartoons in over a decade.
