Japanese animated films of only the highest quality have emerged from Studio Ghibli since its establishment in 1985, with several of these films having won awards. Hayao Miyazaki, one of the greatest directors and animators in Japanese cinema, has produced many of the Studio Ghibli films, after co-founding the company with his senior colleague Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki who was then an animation magazine editor at Tokuma Shoten. Miyazaki and Takahata have long been celebrated in Japan as visionary directors and icons in the field of animation.
