the largest gathering of fans of Japanese culture in Portugal!
Born on December 17, 1999, in Porto, João Moura is one of the most promising Portuguese talents making a name for himself in the international animation industry, particularly in the world of Japanese anime.
His journey began at the Árvore Artistic and Professional School, where he studied 2D/3D Animation. It was during this time that he developed a strong passion not only for creating anime but also for what goes on behind the scenes—the creative process, the teams, and the different stages that bring to life the productions that captivate millions of fans around the world.
In 2023, João Moura took a decisive step in his career by making his debut as a 2nd Key animator on the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, one of today’s most popular titles. This moment marked his official entry into the Japanese animation industry, opening doors to new collaborations and high-profile projects.
Since then, he has been solidifying his career, participating in several notable productions such as Dandadan, Solo Leveling, Fate/Strange Fake, and My Hero Academia Vigilantes, among others. His work stands out for the fluidity of the animation, attention to detail, and ability to integrate into highly demanding international teams.
Alongside his work in anime, João has also been developing skills in other areas of animation and visual development, collaborating with different studios and exploring fields such as character design, background art, and art direction, further demonstrating his versatility as an artist.
Currently, he continues to expand his career in the industry, contributing to increasingly ambitious projects and establishing himself as an inspiring example of how talent, dedication, and passion can take a Portuguese artist to the biggest stages of the global animation world.
At Iberanime Santarém, João Moura takes the Japan Stage for a conversation with Helder Archer of OtakuPT, where he will share his experience in the anime industry, the challenges of working on international productions, and the behind-the-scenes secrets that bring the series we all love to life.
A unique opportunity to get an up-close look at the journey of a Portuguese creator who is conquering the world of animation.
