Osamu Honma (ID 31140) currently consists of two different people.

Osamu Honma is the older production manager from Toei Animation (credited for production advancement, art advancement, etc.)

Shuu Honma is the animator formerly from Sunshine Corporation who is now a director (of Ya Boy Kongming!). He confirmed his name was Shuu personally (https://imgur.com/a/Us7ehlZ)

They both have the same Kanji, but the readings are different

This should be mostly correctly split now, though I'm not sure about the Licensed by Royal credit. It could be a third person with the same kanji name.

Double-checking it's "Shuu" and not "Osamu" with official sources (we recently interviewed him).

I was wondering about the interview, and appreciate the double check on this. I had gone ahead with this since it looks like the reading came from the man himself (if that is him on his Twitter account). I had checked the official English credits of Sakura Quest also, and he is "Shu Honma" there. High School DxD has him as "Osamu", though that was earlier in his career and so the actual reading might not have been as known.

So he prefers "Shu Homma" actually even though Honma is technically correct. I have to change the interview to his preference.

Interesting
Thanks for fixing this and confirming
