Takeda Yuusuke is an art director who was born on October 18, 1968 in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. He grew up in Mexico because of his parents' work. In elementary school he read Ishinomori Shoutarou's Cyborg 009. Later he experienced the Yamato and Gundam boom, prompting him to be interested in animation. He started working as background artist, later becoming freelance. During that time Takeda got acquainted with Hiragi Tokuhiro and Kushida Tatsuya, whom he then helped establishing the art studio Bihou in 1993.

In 2005 he established the independent art studio Bamboo, which became a company in 2007.
