The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Makoto Shinkai
- I pay attention to the things that nobody else is looking at.
- When we were doing ‘Five Centimeters Per Second,’ at that time, Japan was in an era when it felt nothing would ever change, so I wanted to make a movie that reflected that feeling.
- Some people say, ‘Well you’re a man; how do you write about women or girls when you don’t know about them?’ Well, I’ve got my imagination, and I can write about women. Yes, I’ll never be pregnant and give birth to children, but I can imagine a bit of what it’s like. When you create characters, it’s just about making them really real to people.
- In daily or everyday life, I am so impressed with tiny details, like when I look up at a street lamp falling on the street, it seems to have meaning or so much information in it.
- As soon as I have the idea, I need to create as quickly as possible, because it’s what’s going on in society, and that’s what connects me to my audience.
- I think animation can tell more than live action.
- When Ando arrives in the studio, he picks up his pen even before he gets a cup of tea, and he stays seated until the very last train at night. He hardly eats, just nibbles at little balls of rice at his desk.
- I think love isn’t doomed, of course, but in real life, love doesn’t always work out.
- When I was young as a teenager, that was the biggest mystery in the world to me: Why don’t people connect?
- Of course I’m happy when people mention his name and mine in the same breath. It’s like a dream. But I know they are overpraising ‘Your Name’ because I am absolutely not at Miyazaki’s level. Honestly, I really don’t want Miyazaki to see it because he will see all its flaws.

Makoto Shinkai is a renowned Japanese filmmaker, writer, and animator celebrated for his visually stunning and emotionally resonant animated films. He was born on February 9, 1973, in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Shinkai began his career at a video game company, where he taught himself animation and filmmaking. He gained early recognition with the short film Voices of a Distant Star (2002), created almost entirely by himself. International acclaim followed with feature films such as 5 Centimeters per Second, The Garden of Words, Your Name, Weathering With You, and Suzume.
Often compared to Hayao Miyazaki, Shinkai is known for his breathtaking backgrounds, themes of distance and connection, and deeply personal storytelling. His films have achieved major global success, breaking box-office records and expanding the worldwide audience for Japanese animation.
