Toshio Suzuki (Page 3)
We catch up with No Face, Mari Natsuki, who voiced the character of Yubaba, and legendary producer Toshio Suzuki at the limited-time exhibition.
All-male cast brings anime classic to the traditional stage in a historic first for Studio Ghibli director and co-founder Hayao Miyazaki.
Producer gives tentative timetable while promising Studio Ghibli is doing “things we were never able to do in the past.”
76-year-old anime legend wants the film to be his legacy after he moves on to the next world.
Why is Studio Ghibli located in Koganei? Why are there two girls in My Neighbour Totoro? When will Miyazaki’s next film be released? Toshio Suzuki answered all these questions and more at an event last night in Tokyo.
Producer of Spirited Away and The Wind Rises wants to make exhibit as accessible as possible, offers partial rebates to advance ticket purchasers.
On September 11, director Mamoru Oshii of Ghost in the Shell fame questioned Toshio Suzuki, general manager and long-time producer of Studio Ghibli films, in regards to the future of the beloved animation studio. Mr. Suzuki’s comments over the last month or so have been ambiguously vague, to the frustration of anxious fans everywhere. However, this latest exchange seems to have at least produced a new detail in the future of company, as Mr. Suzuki all but confirmed that the studio will be undergoing some restructuring, regardless of the future of its production division.
