In June 1985, Miyazaki, along with fellow animator Isao Takahata, co-founded Studio Ghibli with the support of editor Toshio Suzuki and publisher Yasuyoshi Tokuma from Tokuma Shoten.

Studio Ghibli went on to create numerous classic animated films such as "Castle in the Sky," "My Neighbor Totoro," "Princess Mononoke," "Spirited Away," and "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." These stories are filled with fantasy, adventure, and imagination, while also exploring profound themes related to nature, humanity, and social issues. The animation visuals are exquisitely detailed and imaginative, often touching the hearts of audiences.

These animated films have received numerous international awards and honors, including Oscars, the Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear, and others, highlighting his status and influence in the global animation industry.

After announcing his retirement seven times, Miyazaki has returned to filmmaking. Spending seven years on production, he created "The Boy and the Heron."
