Some animators are so l33t that they go simply by surname or by a nickname among fans. Here are some:

カリスマ (Charisma)
Toshiyuki INOUE 井上俊之

磯 (Iso)
Mitsuo ISO 磯光雄 (It's said most of current anime animation is influenced by him in one way or another)

吉成 (Yoshinari)
Refers to either 吉成鋼 (Kou YOSHINARI) or 吉成曜 (You YOSHINARI) who are brothers and absolutely great animators. They're good at illustrating as well.

Kou (also known as 吉成兄, elder Yoshinari) is easily spotted nowadays because he goes to the extent of doing the composite and post-processing for his shots. See the 4th FMA OP, the part where Ed jumps off the waterfall. As well as the really smooth shot in ep 49 of Eureka 7. Typical otaku are most familiar with that table scene in the first ep of Nanoha that stuck out very much...

You Yoshinari (the younger of the two) is more associated with Gainax. Think there's some good stuff from him in Re: Cutey Honey and FLCL.
One of them is refered to as 鼻毛 (hanage, nose hair) but I can't remember which. Or why, even.

鬱 (Utsu - depression)
Refers to Satoru UTSUNOMIYA うつのみやさとる Many others (even some sakuga-otaku) don't look at him kindly because he never sticks to the character models and while his movement is great, his pictures look "ugly". So they all feel depressed....

ゆたぽん (yutapon)
Refers to Yutaka NAKAMURA 中村豊, a typically Sunrise/Bones action animator. Is seriously leet. Go look up for an AMV/MAD on him on Youtube or stage6. He's in most BONES works. Check out the Bebop movie especially.

コンカツ (Konkatsu)
Refers to Katsuya KONDOU 近藤勝也, a Ghibli animator. He did the animation the very popular Minna no Uta song Kaze no Toorimichi.

キムタカ (Kimutaka)
Refers to Takahiro KIMURA 木村貴宏, more well known as a character designer who does very detailed, sometimes extravagant designs usually with a sexy touch. See Gun X Sword, The nickname reminds one of "kimutaku" (Takuya Kimura...)

師匠 (Shishou - Master!)
Refers to the Takeshi Honda 本田雄, sometimes incorrectly called Yuu Honda. Is involved with most well-animated films and most people don't dare touch his work. See the first Naruto film, Millenium Actress and Beyond in the Animatrix. Was also quite involved in Eva.

ゴッキー (Gocky)
Refers to Keiji Gotou, a rather well-known character designer (esp. for Nadesico) who later started doing directing/storyboarding; he's done series direction for Kiddy Grade and Uta Kata. The first work by him I watched was Gate Keepers.. He does very detailed drawings full of shadows and highlights and what not. If I'm not wrong, pictures like that are described in Japanese as 濃い.
