The co-founder of [[Studio Ghibli]], '''Hayao Miyazaki''' (宮崎駿, Miyazaki Hayao) is the single most successful and renowned animator in Japan since [[Osamu Tezuka]], and by far the most famous Japanese animator worldwide.
Miyazaki's father and uncle owned a large airplane factory, and airplanes were the first things he drew when he began to learn how; the influences of growing up around flying machines have resonated throughout his work since.
He began his career in the eary-'60s at Toei, but came to prominence writing and directing anime for television in the '70s; not only did he direct several episodes of the original ''[[Lupin III]]'' TV series, his first feature film was an action-adventure caper flick starring the ''Lupin'' characters: ''[[The Castle of
In 1984, Miyazaki and producer [[Isao Takahata]] scraped together a staff and enough financial support to make a feature film: ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'', based on a manga Miyazaki was writing at the time. It was so successful that Takahata and Miyazaki were able to set up their own studio -- [[Studio Ghibli|Ghibli]] -- which has been their base of operations since.
It may be some indicator of the stature and craftmanship of Miyazaki to know that Disney has paid exorbitant amounts of money to be the exclusive distributor of his works in English ''on his terms'', ''Nausicaa'' having previously suffered both a [[Macekre]] (''Warriors of the Wind'') and [[The Problem with Licensed Games|video game derivatives]] that [[
Miyazaki has influenced many creators across the world. Many shots and designs in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' took inspiration from Miyazaki. Appa was influenced by the Catbus from ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]''. Works from [[Makoto Shinkai]] include many Miyazaki tropes. Shinkai's ''[[Suzume (film)|Suzume]]'' is exceptional, having its Miyazaki factor dialed up by a factor of ten with tropes such as [[Scenery Porn]], [[Slice of Life]], and [[Plucky Girl]]. Plus, ''Suzume'' contains more than one reference to his works. Many creators at [[Pixar]] are fans of Miyazaki; both ''[[Soul (2020 film)|Soul]]'' and Miyazaki's ''[[The Wind Rises]]'' end by telling the viewer to just ''live''. [[John Lasseter]] stated that "[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/john-lasseter-pays-emotional-tribute-743635/ Whenever we get stuck at Pixar or Disney, I put on a Miyazaki film sequence or two, just to get us inspired again]". Miyazaki's influence isn't limited to just visual media, though. Quite a few games, notably ''[[Ori and the Blind Forest]]'', took inspiration from his works.
He enjoys [[Green Aesop|Green Aesops]] and [[Scenery Porn]], has an unexplained love for pigs, and he's also responsible for a fair amount of [[Hayao Miyazaki/Nightmare Fuel|Nightmare Fuel]]. His films all have flying scenes with the exception of ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'' and ''[[Anime/Ponyo On A Cliff By The Sea|Ponyo On A Cliff By The Sea]]''. He also has his own [http://ulp.ottawa-anime.org/index2.html fan-made Religion.]▼

* [[Associated Composer]]: With [[Joe Hisaishi]], who composed every film's soundtracks at Ghibli, even [[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind|one]] before Ghibli was founded.
* [[Green Aesop]]: ''[[Laputa: Castle in the Sky]]'' told us to return to our roots. ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'' showed the wonder of nature. ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'' showed a traditional witch, representative of nature, joining the developing world. ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'' showed a conflict between man and nature. In all cases, Miyazaki sides with nature. Pretty sure there's a pattern going on here...
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: He first considered retiring after the production of ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', then proceeded to make ''[[Spirited Away]]'', then ''[[Howl's Moving Castle (anime)|Howl's Moving Castle]]'', ''[[Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea]]'', and finally ''[[The Wind Rises]]''. The Wind Rises is stated to be Miyazaki's last film, until he came out of retirement again to make ''[[How Do You Live? (anime)|How Do You Live?]]''.
