Goro Miyazaki
It can’t be easy going into the animation biz when your father is Studio Ghibli co-founder and beloved icon Hayao Miyazaku, but Goro Miyazaki—whose films as a director include Tales from Earthsea, From Up on Poppy Hill, and Earwig and the Witch—has carried on the legacy in his own way, even helping design and serving as director for Japan’s Ghibli Museum.
