ABOUT WILLIE ITO

As a child, Willie Ito learned to draw on the pages of Sears catalogues while his family was incarcerated at the Japanese internment camp in Topaz, Utah during World War II. Before joining Walt Disney Studios in 1954, Ito studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. While at Disney, Ito became Iwao Takamoto’s assistant as an in-betweener on the “Lady” unit of the feature film, Lady and the Tramp, illustrating the movie’s famous spaghetti-eating scene.

Ito worked alongside Chuck Jones at Warner Bros. cartoon’s infamous Termite Terrace before joining Hanna-Barbera during development of “The Jetsons”. Ito worked on layouts and backgrounds for such series as “The Jetsons,” “The Flintstones” and “The Yogi Bear Show,” and designed characters like the title characters from “Hong Kong Phooey” and “Goober and the Ghost Chasers”.
