Hayao Miyazaki (b. January 5, 1941) is one of Japan's leading anime directors famed for his work on Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. He is also the co-founder of the animation studio and production company, Studio Ghibli.
Miyazaki was born in Akebono-cho, Tokyo. He attended Toyotama High School where he was inspired by the film Hakujaden, a feature-length anime film. He went on to attend Gakushin University graduating with degrees in political science and economics. Following his graduation, he took a job at Toei Animation as an artist. His participation in a labor dispute led to his position as secretary of Toei's labor union. In 1965, Miyazaki married animator Akemi Ota and they had two sons, Goro, who grew up to be an animator, and Keisuke, a wood artist.
