For October's Animator of the Month, it is none other than the man, the legend, Hayao Miyazaki!
Born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941, Miyazaki started his career as an animator in 1963 by working for the Toei Douga studio. He did not go unrecognized for his work as a prolific animator who could propose a festival of ideas. After Toei Douga, he went onwards to work at the A Pro studio (1971) and Nippon Animation (1973). He directed "Future Boy Conan" in 1978 and then directed "The Castle of Cagliostro" in 1979. With the success brought from the next film he released, "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" (1984), Studio Ghibli was founded.
At Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki contributed to many award-winning films such as Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. He has inspired many animators like myself in his works that are filled to the brim with creativity.
