Amano did the concept art for the first six Final Fantasies, as well as Vampire Hunter D, Gatchaman (I think), and a bunch of other projects. He also came back and did redesigns and re-sketching of a lot of characters in later Final Fantasies, including everyone in FF9 (his art is often assumed to be concept art, but it isn't) and several people in 7 and 8.
He's one of my favorite contemporary artists period, not just in the realm of games.
