Biography

Upon graduating from Nihon University's art department's school of film, Miyaji took part in Studio Ghibli's Higashi-Koganei Sonjoku training program in 1998. He studied under the program along with fellow future animator Tadashi Okumura. The promise he showed in the program led him to be selected as assistant director to Hayao Miyazaki in Spirited Away.

In 2008, he made his full directorial debut with Bounen no Xamdou. In an interview to The Japan Times, Miyaji stated that he believed anime was a part of the film industry, and said in respect to Xamdou's "theatrical dimension", he had wished to use an "almost documentary style" for certain parts and listed directors Ken Loach and Jean-Luc Godard as his inspirations. He also stated with the series' unique PlayStation Network release, he felt he could reach out to a "different kind" of audience.

Ten-year-old Chihiro Ogino and her parents are traveling to their new home when her father takes a wrong turn. They unknowingly enter a magical world that Chihiro's father insists on exploring, believing it to be an abandoned amusement park. Her parents sit at an empty, but seemingly-operational, restaurant stall, and begin to devour the fresh food in a piggish manner; meanwhile, Chihiro discovers an exquisite bathhouse across a bridge, where a young boy named Haku warns her to get out before the impending sunset. Frantically, Chihiro returns to her parents, only to discover that they have literally transformed into pigs. She attempts to escape, but the way by which they came has since become submerged. Frightened and alone, she observes as the world she ventured into reveals itself as a luxurious retreat for spirits to revitalize themselves.
