## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Masayuki_Miyaji&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Owing to Masayuki Miyaji's passion upon animation, after dropping out from the Film Department of Nihon University College of Art (日本大学藝術学部映画学科), he started to study at a certain workshop established by [Studio Ghibli](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Ghibli "wikipedia:Studio Ghibli") (スタジオジブリ)[](#cite_note-novel-2). In 1999, Miyaji formally entered Studio Ghibli[](#cite_note-novel-2-1), and worked with fellow animator [Masashi Okumura](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E5%A5%A5%E6%9D%91%E6%AD%A3%E5%BF%97 "wikipedia:ja:奥村正志") (奥村 正志) at that time. During this period of time, he was recognised by the renowned anime director [Hayao Miyazaki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki "wikipedia:Hayao Miyazaki") (宮崎 駿)[](#cite_note-web-3), thus he became the assistant director of the film *[Spirited Away](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirited_Away "wikipedia:Spirited Away")* (千と千尋の神隠し) at 25 years old. In 2001, after gaining some experience, he decided to work by himself[](#cite_note-novel-2-1)[](#cite_note-novel-2) - in 2008, he directed the web animation *[Xam'd: Lost Memories](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xam%27d:_Lost_Memories "wikipedia:Xam'd: Lost Memories")* (亡念のザムド)[[Note 1]](#cite_note-4) for the first time[](#cite_note-novel-3-5)[](#cite_note-web-3).
In 2012, he directed theatre-like TV movie named *[Memoirs of a Hunter Girl](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_Tepp%C5%8D_Musume_no_Torimonoch%C5%8D "wikipedia:Fuse Teppō Musume no Torimonochō")* (伏 鉄砲娘の捕物帳) for the first time[](#cite_note-movie-6). In 2014, he directed a real-life talk show called *[Plusto](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%81%B7%E3%82%89%E3%81%99%E3%81%A8 "wikipedia:ja:ぷらすと")* (WOWOWぷらすと) for the first time. In 2014, he published his first novel titled *Farewell Ariadne* (さよならアリアドネ)[](#cite_note-novel-2).
Miyaji was only involved in the production of the case [**Episodes 350~351**: The Forgotten Cell Phone](/wiki/The_Forgotten_Cell_Phone "The Forgotten Cell Phone") in the *Detective Conan* anime.
