Makoto Shinkai is a Japanese anime film director born as Makoto Niitsu on February 9, 1973, in Nagano Prefecture. He studied Japanese literature at Shōwa University and was part of a literary club where he created comics. His passion for his work is attributed to manga, anime, and novels he loved during middle school. His favorite anime is 'Castle in the Sky' by Hayao Miyazaki. Although often referred to as the 'new Miyazaki,' Shinkai considers this comparison an exaggeration, noting the differences in their works and target audiences.
