Miyazaki has noted that some of his earliest memories are of "bombed-out cities". [13] In 1944, when he was three years old, Miyazaki's family evacuated to Utsunomiya. [5] After the bombing of Utsunomiya in July 1945, he and his family evacuated to Kanuma. [6] The bombing left a lasting impression on Miyazaki, then aged four. [6] As a child, Miyazaki suffered from digestive problems, and was told that he would not live beyond 20, making him feel like an outcast. [11] [14] From 1947 to 1955, Miyazaki's mother Yoshiko suffered from spinal tuberculosis; she spent the first few years in hospital before being nursed from home. [5] Yoshiko was frugal, [2] and described as a strict, intellectual woman who regularly questioned "socially accepted norms". [4] She was closest with Miyazaki, and had a strong influence on him and his later work. [2] [e] Yoshiko Miyazaki died in July 1983 at the age of 72. [18] [19] Bayle, Alfred (October 4, 2017).

[2] [220] The couple have two sons: Goro, born in January 1967, and Keisuke, born in April 1969. [41] Miyazaki felt that becoming a father changed him, as he tried to produce work that would please his children. [221] Miyazaki initially fulfilled a promise to his wife that they would both continue to work after Goro's birth, dropping him off at preschool for the day; however, upon seeing Goro's exhaustion walking home one day, Miyazaki decided that they could not continue, and his wife stayed at home to raise their children. [220] Miyazaki's dedication to his work harmed his relationship with his children, as he was often absent. Goro watched his father's works in an attempt to "understand" him, since the two rarely talked. [222] Miyazaki said that he "tried to be a good father, but in the end I wasn't a very good parent". [220] During the production of Tales from Earthsea in 2006, Goro said that his father "gets zero marks as a father but full marks as a director of animated films". [222] [aj]

In The Birth of Studio Ghibli (2005), Suzuki states: "Miyazaki is a feminist, actually. He also has this conviction that to be successful, companies have to make it possible for their female employees to succeed too. You can see this attitude in Princess Mononoke: all the characters working the bellows in the iron works are women. Then there's Porco Rosso: Porco's plane is rebuilt entirely by women." [202] Abe's party proposed the amendment to Article 96 of the Constitution of Japan, a clause that stipulates procedures needed for revisions. Ultimately, this would allow Abe to revise Article 9 of the Constitution, which outlaws war as a means to settle international disputes.
