It is also known that he belonged to “Studio Ghibli” established in 1985 with Hayao Miyazaki. However, “Studio Ghibli” was produced and released in 1984 by Director Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, and “Kaze no Tani Nausicaa” was created and directed by Takahata in the documentary film “Yanagawa Horiwari Monogatari”. It was founded because it was used up in production, and it was decided that the situation could only be covered by earning income from a new movie directed by Miyazaki. Director Miyazaki's new movie “Temple Castle Laputa” was released in 1986, and “Yanakawa Horiwari Monogatari” took 3 years to produce, so Laputa was released in 1987.

Since then, he has produced “Tomb of Fire Dripping” (1988), “Omohide Polo Poro” (1991), “Heisei Eigai Battle Ponpoko” (1994), and “Hohokekyo Neighbor Yamada-kun” (1999) as director of Studio Ghibli.

After “Yamada-kun”, there is a slight gap, but preparations for a new work began around 2005, and in 2012, it was announced as “Kaguyahime no Monogatari” along with Miyazaki ’s “Kaze no Nise”.
