His aesthetic style might seem Ni (in the works he actually had an input anyway), but his actual role in Shaft and the reason why he's a great figure in the industry is his Ne. He always knew how to pave the way for new talents to express themselves freely and to capitalize on trends while also making a creative, unique work. He's more akin to a producer than an auteur, as he never considered himself the latter, and he wants to provide something the fans would enjoy https://wavemotioncannon.com/2016/11/15/interview-akiyuki-shinbo-animage-february-2005vol-320/
