Toshio Suzuki

Born in 1948 in Nagoya, Japan, Toshio Suzuki graduated from Keio University with a degree in literature in 1972 and joined the publishing company Tokuma Shoten Co., Ltd. After working for the weekly magazine Asahi Geino, he cofounded the monthly animation magazine Animage. While serving as coeditor, and later chief editor, of Animage, Suzuki took part in the production of films by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), Grave of the Fireflies (1988), and My Neighbor Totoro (1988). He participated in the founding of Studio Ghibli in 1985 and has worked there since 1989, producing almost all of Studio Ghibli’s theatrical films up to the studio’s latest film, The Boy and the Heron (2023).

He has been awarded the Fujimoto Prize; the Best Producer of Elan d’or Award; the Shin Watanabe Award; the Movie Day Special Achievement Badge; and Geijutsu Sensho Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology Award. Furthermore, the Japan Advertising Federation recognized his efforts as a producer with the Shoriki Award, and ASIFA-Hollywood presented him with the Winsor McCay Award at the 49th Annie Awards.
