Goro Miyazaki, a renowned professional, embarked on his career journey by graduating from the esteemed Faculty of Agriculture at Shinshu University. Initially, he pursued a path in construction consulting, applying his skills to design and develop parks and public institutions.
It was his desire to carve out a distinct identity, separate from his father, the illustrious filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, that led him to steer clear of anything related to animation. However, fate had other plans.
The pivotal moment arrived in the 1990s when Goro became involved in the construction of the iconic Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo. As the primary architect of the museum's design, he took on the role of the first Managing Director.
During Hayao Miyazaki's production of Howl's Moving Castle, producer Toshio Suzuki was impressed by Goro's exceptional decision-making skills and artistic abilities. Suzuki saw potential in Goro and offered him the opportunity to direct the next Ghibli movie, Tales from Earthsea. This marked the beginning of Goro's illustrious career in the animated movie industry.
