Father, Katsuji Miyazaki, was an aviation engineer in the family company Miyazaki Airplane, owned by his older brother.
During the war, the plant made helms up for A6M Zero fighters, perhaps therefore, Hayao from childhood was trembling about everything that flies - aircraft are present in all its anime, and their image is always romanticized. With the eldest for two years, Arma’s brother, he drew different aircraft for hours and often represented himself as their pilot. Later, the younger brothers - Utak and Shirou joined the "aviation" fun.
