Glen Murakami is an American animator, artist, character designer, director and producer best known for his work on Teen Titans, Batman Beyond, Teen Titans Go!, Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

[4] Murakami was promoted to producer for Batman Beyond and won an Emmy Award in 2001 for his work on the series.

In 2002, according to Murakami in an interview in 2012, Sam Register, Senior Vice President of development at Cartoon Network at the time, wanted a show that was based on the comics, Teen Titans, and brought Murakami, who already had a history with Batman Beyond and Superman: The Animated Series to create the new series based on the comics, the Teen Titans.

[1] "I just felt like the Teen Titans was one of the properties left in the DC Universe that hadn't been turned into a cartoon yet, but really needed to be" stated Register.

Murakami approached the show with an unusual design style, setting them apart from the rest of DC Comics animated programing.

'[5] The popular series ran for five seasons, 65 episodes and concluded with the film Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo in 2006.

Following Teen Titans, Murakami teamed up with writer Dwayne McDuffie to revamp a series for Cartoon Network's Ben 10 franchise.

Murakami served as executive producer on Ben 10: Alien Force, which ran for three seasons and 46 episodes.
