Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿, Miyazaki Hayao; born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese animator, director, producer, screenwriter, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and creator of Japanese animated feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished filmmakers in the history of animation.
Miyazaki directed many of Japan’s best known animated films, including Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Miyazaki’s protagonists are usually young girls. Miyazaki reportedly once shouted “What’s wrong with falling in love with a 12-year-old girl?" (「一二歳の女の子と恋愛してどこが悪い」) at fellow director Mamoru Oshii when drunk. The source for this claim appears to be the book "Creator's file Miyazaki Hayao no sekai" (2005).[1] A rough translation of the 1st image containing this quote, reads:
"Those girls are innocent plants for Miya-san. His mind is like a little girl who is standing beyond the mirror. I still don’t get it though. I guess it’s barely different from mine. I have no idea, because I have never been interested in an actual little girl, or child. But he has. When he got terribly drunk, he suddenly shouted “What’s wrong with falling in love with a 12-year-old girl?” That was obviously his true colours."
Various other images are passed around on the Japanese web as evidence of Miyazaki’s sexual and/or romantic attractions. These have yet to be verified or translated, and can be found archived elsewhere.[2]
