Kenzō Masaoka (政せい岡おか 憲三けんぞう, Masaoka Kenzō, October 5, 1898 – November 23, 1988) was a Japanese early anime creator.

Masaoka was the first to use cel animation and recorded sound in anime.[1] He worked at a number of companies as an animator and actor, and was one of the founders of what became Toei Animation. His work as a special effects artist earned him the title "Japanese Méliès."[2]

He also did work under the pseudonym Donbei Masaoka (正岡まさおか どんべい, Masaoka Donbei).

Famous animators who worked under him include Mitsuyo Seo and Yasuji Mori.
