Hayao Miyazaki

    He is a Japanese film director, animator, mangaka, producer, and screenwriter. Miyazaki was born in Tokyo in 1941. He started his career in 1961 when he joined Toei Animation, since then he hasn't stopped working. He has had many successful films such as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Castle of Cagliostro, Castle in the sky and Ponyo. Because of his hard work has been rewarded with the Oscar and a Golden Berlin Bear. 

    I like Miyazaki's work (although has been focused on children) because usually contains subjects that are very important and sometimes we just forgot about it, like humanity's relationships with technology and nature. His films are full of anti-war messages, individualism, responsibility, etc. Furthermore, It's very often that the lead characters of his movies are strong and independent young women, that sort of things are not very common on animation motion pictures. And also,  adding all the wisdom of the East.

    For all of that he has earned public recognition to the point of being called the Japanese  Disney.
