Name: Koichi Kikuta (菊田幸一 / Kouichi Kikuta).
Known For: Visual Effects.
Known Credits: 30.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: January 1, 1984.
Source [2]:

Work includes: Sword Art Online, Haikyu!!, KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world!, KONOSUBA – God's blessing on this wonder [Note: The text cuts off, but I must use what is there].
Source [3]:
Mentions "Blue Reflection Ray TV Anime Adds 4 More Cast Members (Mar 12, 2021)", "AT-X Airs Tamayomi Baseball Anime's 1st Episode on March 8 (Feb 28, 2020)", "Further Konosuba Cinema Screenings (Dec 15, 2019)".
Crucial Check: Does Source [3] explicitly link Kikuta to these specific news items? The source is a list of news headlines under his name on ANN. It doesn't explicitly state he worked on "Blue Reflection Ray" or "Tamayomi". It just lists these news items on his page. However, Source [2] explicitly lists his work. I should be careful. Source [2] lists Sword Art Online, Haikyu!!, and KONOSUBA.
Paragraph 1: Identity and General Info.

Refining/Expanding to meet word count (180-260):
Current count is around 100 words. I need to expand while staying strictly within the sources.
Wait, looking at Source [3] again: It lists news items. It doesn't say he is part of the cast or staff of "Blue Reflection Ray" or "Tamayomi". It just lists them under his name. As a "meticulous archivist," I should probably avoid linking him to those specific news items unless the source explicitly says "Kikuta worked on X". Source [3] is just a list of news items on his profile. I will stick to the explicit roles and titles in Source [2].
