Career
Muto was a classmate of Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward at CalArts.[1] When Ward was first working on the Adventure Time pilot for the Frederator incubator series Random! Cartoons, Muto assisted him by drawing props.[2] Eventually, Muto went on to work on the television series, serving as a storyboard artist. During the show's first season, he was partnered with Elizabeth Ito, but during the show's second and third seasons, he was partnered with Rebecca Sugar. During the following year, he was promoted to creative director, and midway through the show's fifth season, he was promoted to supervising producer, then co-executive producer.[3] From mid-season five until the show's conclusion, he served as the show's showrunner and executive producer (following Ward's stepping down sometime during the production of season five).[1]
Awards
Adam Muto's work on Adventure Time gained him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for the second season episode "It Came From the Nightosphere" in 2011, along with his then-storyboarding partner Rebecca Sugar.[4]
