His family was not able to move back to their home town until 1950. The wartime bombings and fires in Tokyo left Hayao with few pleasant childhood memories. "I've forgotten much," he told Charles Whipple in his essay, ThePower of Positive Inking. "I made up my mind to forget. There were too many things I don't want to remember. For the longest time, they were like thorns in my consciousness. I kept asking myself what it all meant."

While Miyazaki was in high school, manga was growing in popularity throughout Japan, and it was during this time that Miyazaki decided he wanted to become a comic artist. Osamu Tezuka (1928–1989) had published his manga New Treasure Island in 1947, and it caught the imagination of many readers. More and more manga were published and read throughout the 1950s. Animation was also making a comeback in the postwar years, and in 1958, Miyazaki saw Taiji Yabushita's (1903–1986) Legend of the White Serpent, the first Japanese color animated feature, and he fell in love with film. After graduating from Toyotama High School in 1959, he entered Gakushuin University to study political science and economics. While at the university, Miyazaki joined a children's literature research society, and through this group studied many European children's books and comics; he read books by such authors as Rosemary Sutcliff, Phillipa Pearce, Eleanor Farjeon, and Antoine du Saint-Exupery. He graduated with a degree in political science and economics in 1963. Instead of entering the world of finance or politics upon graduation, he immediately went to work at Toei Cine, the animation studio of the Toei Company.

Hayao Miyazaki's father was the director of Miyazaki Airplane, a manufacturing company that built rudders and other fighter plane parts for the Japanese government during World War II. His family's background in aviation became a passion for Miyazaki, and many of his films feature themes of taking flight, including 1988's My Neighbor Totoro, 1989's Kiki’s Delivery Service, 1992 Porco Rosso, and more.
In fact, 2013's The Wind Rises is an animated biopic about Jiro Horikoshi, the engineer and designer of the Japanese Mitsubishi A5M and Mitsubishi A6M Zero flyers used during World War II. Hayao Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985.
On June 15, 1985, Hayao Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli with Grave of the Fireflies (1988) director Isao Takahata, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) producers Toshio Suzuki and Yasuyoshi Tokuma, and Miyazaki’s son, Gorō Miyazaki.
True to Miyazaki’s love of aviation, Studio Ghibli is named after the Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli military plane used during Italy’s occupation of Africa during World War II. According to the company, the word ghibli is Italian for "hot desert wind," and the name was chosen because the founders wanted to create a film studio that would "blow a new wind through the anime industry."
Hayao Miyazaki refused to attend the Academy Awards in 2003. https://youtu.be/qxU6xN8o9r8 Despite winning the Oscar for Best Animated Film for 2001's Spirited Away (the first and only foreign-language winner in the category to date), Hayao Miyazaki refused to attend the 75th Academy Awards in 2003 due to the outbreak of the Iraq War, which started a few days beforehand.
"It is regrettable that I cannot rejoice from my heart over the prize because of the deeply sad events taking place in the world," Miyazaki wrote in a handwritten statement. "However, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to all my friends who have lent their effort in releasing ‘Spirited Away’ in the United States and to all those who have shown their appreciation of the movie."

In 1958 Miyazaki became interested in animated movies, his imagination having been stirred by Hakujaden (Legend of the White Snake), a motion picture that was produced by Toei Animation and was Japan's first color feature-length anime. At that time, however, Miyazaki wanted to be not an animator but a comic-book artist. He majored in economics and political science at Gakushuin University, graduating in 1963, but his heart was in the arts, especially as they appealed to children; he pursued his interest in comic books as a member of the university's children's literature club.

Writes Masterpiece:
In 1982, Miyazaki began an ambitious manga project: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Published in installments in Animage magazine, the manga was completed until March 1994; the work took so long because Miyazaki went on hiatus several times during the years to make films. Many fans consider Nausicaa Miyazaki's masterpiece. It is set in a distant future world that had suffered almost total devastation a thousand years before. In the story, humans live in small pockets of inhabitable lands surrounded by the vast Sea of Corruption. Young Princess Nausicaa, who is able to speak with plants and animals, ventures into the Sea of Corruption in order to figure out how to help the ecosystem thrive once again. Miyazaki's inspiration for the series came in part from the real-life ecological disaster in Japan's Lake Minamata, where in 1956 mercury contamination was discovered to be causing debilitating disease among those who ate the poisoned fish from the lake. As Princess Nausicaa tries to solve the mystery of the Sea of Corruption, she also seeks peace with the hostile neighboring tribes and is even forced to command her people in war. Despite being written in spurts over thirteen years, Nausicaa is distinguished among epic manga for the coherence of its complicated story and the realism of the Miyazaki-created world.

Parents
Katsuji Miyazaki (father)
Yoshiko Miyazaki (mother) Hayao Miyazaki was born on January 5, 1941, in Tokyo City, Empire of Japan, the second of four sons.[1][2][c] His father, Katsuji Miyazaki (born 1915),[3] was the director of Miyazaki Airplane, his brother's company,[4] which manufactured rudders for fighter planes during World War II.[5] The business allowed his family to remain affluent during Miyazaki's early life.[6][d] Miyazaki's father enjoyed purchasing paintings and demonstrating them to guests, but otherwise had little known artistic understanding.[2] He said that he was in the Imperial Japanese Army around 1940; after declaring to his commanding officer that he wished not to fight because of his wife and young child, he was discharged after a lecture about disloyalty.[8] According to Miyazaki, his father often told him about his exploits, claiming that he continued to attend nightclubs after turning 70.[9] Katsuji Miyazaki died on March 18, 1993.[10] After his death, Miyazaki felt that he had often looked at his father negatively and that he had never said anything "lofty or inspiring".[9] He regretted not having a serious discussion with his father, and felt that he had inherited his "anarchistic feelings and his lack of concern about embracing contradictions".[9]
Begins Work In Animation:
Miyazaki worked as an entry-level in-betweener on two features, Watchdog Woof-Woof and Wolf Boy Ken for Toei. An in-betweener takes the most important first and final frames of an action movement drawn by an animator and creates the series of drawings in between the two frames to complete the movement. From this position, Miyazaki quickly navigated his way to more and more responsibility within the animation industry. His talent as an artist and his unending stream of story ideas propelled him. Miyazaki became active in the Toei labor union, rising in the union ranks as his career flourished. He became a key animator on the television series Wind Ninja Boy Fujimaru that ran from 1964 to 1965. He also formed lasting friendships with other animators. He befriended Isao Takahata (1935–), another animator with whom he continued to work into the 2000s, and dated another, Akemi Ota. He married Akemi in October 1965, and they had two sons. In 1965, Takahata and Yasuo Otsuka (1931–) started work on a new animated feature, The Great Adventure of Hols, Prince of theSun, for Toei. When the lead producers broke with tradition and decided to open planning sessions for the film to the whole team (instead of just the producers), Miyazaki became one of the most active participants in its production. Released in 1968, the film is considered the introduction of Miyazaki's anime style, which relies on realistic images rather than the distorted, otherworldly scenes of other Japanese animation.
Over the next twenty years, Miyazaki would continue to rise in stature in the Japanese animation industry, working in both film and television. He directed his first television series, Future Boy Conan, in 1978, and his first animated film, The Castle of Cagliostro, in 1979. The Castle of Cagliostro, featuring the popular character Monkey Punch, Lupin III, remains a cult classic with what has been described as the best car chase on film.
