Kazuhiro OZAWA (小沢 一浩) appears to be at least four different persons with probably different surnames:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
小沢 一浩 = おざわ・かずひろ = OZAWA Kazuhiro (director) (Allcinema with hiragana)
(4 EDICT readings for 小沢 = Ozawa, Osawa, Kosawa, Kozawa; ANN has 11 小沢 persons, all "Ozawa")
(1 EDICT reading for 一浩 = "Kazuhiro"; ANN has 6 一浩 persons, all "Kazuhiro")
小沢 一浩 (1990) Mahou no Angel Sweet Mint (TV) : Episode Director (http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~neruofu/data/tvtitle/mint.htm)
小沢 一浩 (1991) Ucchare Goshogawara (OAV) : Director (Allcinema)
小沢 一浩 (1992) Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (TV) : Episode Director (livedoor wiki)
小沢 一浩 (1994) Tenchi Muyo! Mihoshi Special : Director (no source; better: Allcinema)
小沢 一浩 (1995) El Hazard - The Magnificent World (OAV) : Director (no source; better: D2_STATION)
_(error?)_ (1995) Sorcerer Hunters (TV) : Storyboard (no source; Playtown and Wikipedia have the credits but no "Ozawa" for Storyboard)
小沢 一浩 (1996) Marriage (OAV) : Director (no source; better: Allcinema)
小沢 一浩 (1997) Battle Athletes (OAV) : Director (no source; better: Allcinema)
小沢 一浩 (1999) Sorcerer on the Rocks (OAV) : Director (no source; Allcinema)
小沢 一浩 (2002) Chobits (TV) : Episode Director (D2_STATION)
(keep) This is the current owner of this entry. 3 credits in livedoor wiki, including Trigun ep 19 (which ANN has no Storyboard credits for). His family name definitely has a short "o".
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
おざわ かずひろ = OZAWA Kazuhiro (storyboard)
おざわ かずひろ (2001) Daisuki! Bubu- Chacha (TV) : Storyboard (http://www.bubuchacha.com/e/index.html, no kanji; better: Wikipedia page of anime)
おざわ かずひろ (2003) Gunslinger Girl (TV) : Storyboard (http://www.gunslingergirl.com/onair.html, domain is gone; better: inutori bekkan)
おざわ かずひろ (2005) Blood+ (TV) : Episode Director (blood.tv, unusable/Flash; better: Wikipedia page of anime)
おざわ かずひろ (2005) Strawberry Marshmallow (TV) : Storyboard (http://www.tbs.co.jp/ichigomashimaro, unusable; better: livedoor wiki)
おざわ かずひろ (2007) Minami-ke (TV) : Storyboard (http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/minami-ke/1/story.html)
おざわ かずひろ (2007) Ichigo Mashimaro (OAV) : Episode Director (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/moonphase/20070118#p3)
おざわ かずひろ (2009) Shangri-La (TV) : Storyboard (livedoor wiki)
おざわ かずひろ (2009) Umi Monogatari ~Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~ (TV) : Storyboard (livedoor wiki)
(split) 9 credits with this spelling in livedoor wiki. I'd vote for splitting him in order to make the kanji name available, and later merge with 小沢 一浩 in case anyone can prove they happen to be the same person. Allcinema has none of おざわ かずひろ's credits for their 小沢 一浩 entry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
大澤 和宏 = OOSAWA Kazuhiro (animator, Studio Angle)
(6 EDICT readings for 大澤, including Osawa, Ozawa, Oosawa and Oozawa; ANN has 6 大澤 persons: 1 OOSAWA, 1 OOZAWA, 2 OHSAWA, 2 OSAWA; Wikipedia has a clear tendency towards おおさわ = OOSAWA)
(2 EDICT readings for 和宏 = "Kazuhiro"/"Kazugiro"; ANN has 14 和宏 persons, all "Kazuhiro")
大澤 和宏 (2006) Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (TV) : In-Between Animation (http://www.hantsuki.com/, unusable; better: D2_STATION)
大澤 和宏 (2007) Kotetsushin Jeeg (TV) : Key Animation (Angle) (livedoor wiki)
(split) A different person that needs to be split off. 12 credits in livedoor wiki (4 of these for スタジオアングル = Studio Angle).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
大沢 和宏 = OOSAWA Kazuhiro (animator)
(8 EDICT readings for 大沢, including Osawa, Ozawa, Oosawa and Oozawa; ANN has 5 大沢 persons, all "Osawa"; the Wikipedia disambiguation page for 大沢 has only two readings, おおさわ = OOSAWA and おおぞう = OOZOU)
大沢 和宏 (2006) Hell Girl Two Mirrors (TV) : Key Animation (http://www.jigokushoujo.com/, unusable; better: livedoor wiki)
(keep with previous one) Probably the same person as the previous one (dormcat mentioned 沢 being "equivalent" to certain other kanji?). 9 credits in livedoor wiki (none of them grouped with a company) so this isn't just a typo.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
???? = OZAWA? Kazuhiro (animator)
_________ (2007) Naruto Shippūden (TV) : Key Animation (http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/naruto/sippuuden/, HTTP-404; livedoor wiki has low-level credits only for a few episodes and the file contains neither "和宏" nor "カズヒロ"; Google showed me no plausible page either)
(unclear) No idea whether this belongs to the previous person or to the next one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
オザワ カズヒロ = OZAWA Kazuhiro (animator, Buyu)
オザワ カズヒロ (2009) Lupin III vs. Detective Conan (special) : Key Animation (Buyu) (livedoor wiki)
(split) Another animator, this time with a short "o" in his family name, and as such probably a different family name from the previous one. 3 credits in livedoor wiki.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
小沢 一敬 = おざわ かずひろ = OZAWA Kazuhiro (comedian) (1973-10-10, Wikipedia page, Allcinema)
小沢 一敬 (2007) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (movie) as Dario Brando (Wikipedia)
(split) Definitely a different person. His Wikipedia page doesn't even mention anime but is linked to from the Jojo's page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wayback Machine copy of the TY Tokyo site is viable, but it does not seem to list any key animation credits.

Official sites rarely if ever list key animators (I've never seen it happen yet at any rate). You're lucky if they even list the primary episodic staff - you often just get the main staff as listed in the opening credits.

Given the chronology and similar roles (it's very common for staff with enshutsu credits to also have storyboard credits and vice versa), it's entirely too likely that they're same person who switched names around 2001/2002 to all-hiragana form. I don't really think they should be split.

I agree, but how would ANN then get both the kanji and the hiragana name available for kanji contribution? The split-then-merge solution might do the trick.
