Studio Ghibli's Future Secured: Nippon TV Acquires the Iconic Studio

Japanese TV station Nippon Television is acquiring a controlling stake in Studio Ghibli, the renowned animation studio co-founded by Hayao Miyazaki. With no clear successor in sight, the move aims to ensure a smooth transition of leadership as Miyazaki and co-founder Suzuki Toshio approach retirement. Nippon's investment will allow them to manage Ghibli's future while preserving the studio's creative process and brand value. The change in leadership will take effect in October, and Nippon and Ghibli have previously collaborated on various projects. Miyazaki's latest film, "The Boy and the Heron," is set for release, but the director has shown signs of potentially coming out of retirement for future projects.

Nippon Television Takes Control of Studio Ghibli, Becomes New Majority Shareholder

Studio Ghibli, the renowned Japanese animation studio behind Miyazaki Hayao's films, is selling a controlling stake to Nippon Television (NTV), making NTV the largest shareholder with 42.3% of voting rights. The move aims to address the issue of succession as the studio's founders, Miyazaki Hayao and Suzuki Toshio, are aging. Miyazaki's son, Miyazaki Goro, has declined to be the successor, leading to the decision to leave the future of the company to others. The two companies have a long-standing relationship, and NTV has supported Studio Ghibli's works in the past. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
