Makoto Shinkai had also directed lots of other anime movies besides Kimi no Na wa. Shinkai has been called "The New Miyazaki" in several reviews, including those by Anime Advocates and ActiveAnime, but he said that it was an "overestimation". He traces his passion for creation to the manga, anime, and novels he was exposed to while in middle school.

He studied Japanese literature at Chuo University where he was a member of a juvenile literature club where he drew picture books. Makoto Shinkai was born on February 9, 1973, in Koumi, Nagano, Japan.
