Hayao Miyazaki Media
Several characters from Miyazaki's films were inspired by his mother Yoshiko.[note 1]
Miyazaki first worked with Isao Takahata (pictured) in 1964, spawning a lifelong collaboration and friendship.[3][4][5]
In the 1980s, Miyazaki began working with Toshio Suzuki (pictured), who later produced most of his films at Studio Ghibli.
Miyazaki and Takahata founded the animation production company Studio Ghibli (offices pictured in 2023) in June 1985.[6]
Merchandise profits from My Neighbor Totoro (cosplayer pictured) financially sustained Studio Ghibli for years.[7]
Miyazaki opened his own personal office in 1998, named Buta-ya ("pig house").[8]
Miyazaki created several short films for the Ghibli Museum in between his feature films.[9]
