Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is one of the most famous and respected creators of anime, or Japanese animated films.

Manga

Miyazaki has drawn several manga starting in 1969 with a manga titled Nagakutsu wo Haita Neko (Puss in Boots). His major work in this printed format is the manga version of the epic tale Nausicaä, on which he worked from 1982 to 1994 and has sold more than 10 million copies in Japan. He originally didn't want to do Nausicaä as a manga but was forced to after Toshio Suzuki couldn't get funding for the film without a manga for a basis. Other works include Sabaku no Tami (People of the Desert), Shuna no Tabi (The Journey of Shuna), and Hikoutei Jidai (The Age of the Flying Boat, the basis of his animated film Porco Rosso).
