He started his career in 1963 as an animator at the studio Toei Douga, and was subsequently involved in many early classics of Japanese animation.

The English version from VIZ Media Publishing is essentially the similar in content. Some of the English versions end with movie scripts, some don't.

Similar to the Japanese concept of On, the film can be partly understood as an exploration of the effect of greediness and Western consumerism on traditional Japanese culture. [42] For instance, Yubaba is stylistically unique within the bathhouse, wearing a Western dress and living among European décor and furnishings, in contrast with the minimalist Japanese style of her employees' quarters, representing the Western capitalist influence over Japan in its Meiji period and beyond. Along with its function within the ostensible coming of age theme, Yubaba's act of taking Chihiro's name and replacing it with Sen (an alternate reading of chi, the first character in Chihiro's name, lit. 'one thousand') can be thought of as symbolic of capitalism's single-minded concern with value. [39] Bird,' 'Spirited' nab kid kudos". Variety. Archived from the original on 21 November 2015 .
