Shō Aikawa
BornNoboru Aikawa
(1965-08-09) August 9, 1965 (age 59)
Tokyo, Japan
Occupation(s)Screenwriter, novelist, mangaka
Years active1983-present

Shō Aikawa (會川 昇, Aikawa Shō, born Noboru Aikawa (会川 昇, Aikawa Noboru) on August 9, 1965) is a Japanese screenwriter. Active in various fields (and credited through various pseudonyms) since he was 17 years old, the most popular works he has helmed have been in anime and tokusatsu: Dangaioh, Ultraman: Towards the Future, Martian Successor Nadesico, Love Hina, The Twelve Kingdoms, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kamen Rider Blade, GoGo Sentai Boukenger and Concrete Revolutio.

Most of his anime work has been in adaptations which, when he is the main writer, feature significant deviations from the source materials' trajectory. Among those based on original concepts, 7 titles were conceived, wholly or partly, by him; he also had one manga he had written adapted to animation.
