Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki was born on 5 January 1941 in Tokyo; during the war, the family business run by his father made aircraft parts. A graduate of Gakushūin University in 1963, he joined Tōei the same year as an in-betweener and was active in the union there. He then worked for several studios and for television, before taking part in 1985 in the founding of his own studio. In 2003, he did not attend the Oscars ceremony at which one of his films was awarded a prize, in protest against the war in Iraq.
