Early life and education
Shion Takeuchi was born on September 5, 1988.[6] Her hometown is Northborough, Massachusetts. Animation became her interest after she got into the School of Visual Arts pre-college program due to a registration error, making it "the best clerical mistake of her life."[7] Majoring in Character Animation, she then attended and eventually graduated from the California Institute of the Arts. She currently resides in Los Angles, California.
Career
She won the category of "Best Comedy Short" at the Animayo Film Festival with one of the three short films she made since her CalArts graduation. Through 2010 to 2011, Takeuchi would later work on Cartoon Network's Regular Show, created by fellow CalArts alumni JG Quintel, as a storyboard artist. She was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program with the episode Regular Show (season 1).[8] She then left the show's production to write and co-direct with Emma Coats a short film Sweetpea, which according to its Kickstarter campaign is a western "about a chase, a pearl-handled revolver, and 2 outlaws with a complicated relationship".
Later employed by Pixar[9], Takeuchi served as a story artist for Monsters University and Inside Out (2015 film)|Inside Out. At the time, she was then hired in 2014 to work on Disney Channel's Gravity Falls as a writer. Between 2016 and 2017, Takeuchi, alongside Alex Hirsch - the show's creator - and others, recieved two nominations from the Annie Awards for Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement for Writing in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production Achievement in Writing in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production with their work on the episode Not What He Seems and series finale Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls, respectively.
In 2021, years after Gravity Falls wrapped up production, Takeuchi went on to create a Netflix adult-animated original series entitled Inside Job (2021 TV series) with Hirsch attached as an executive producer as a part her deal with the company she made in 2018 to "develop new series and other projects exclusively for Netflix."[10][11] The show follows a tech genius and her partner who work at a "Shadow government (conspiracy)" filled with Reptilian conspiracy theory shapeshifters and psychic mushrooms as they try to uncover hidden secrets and mysteries about the world where every conspiracy theory is real.[12]
