Toshio Suzuki was the executive managing director and long time producer for studio Ghibli. On February 1, 2008, Toshio Suzuki stepped down from the position of Studio Ghibli president which he held since 2005, and Koji Hoshino (former president of Walt Disney Japan) took over. Suzuki said he wanted to improve films with his own hands as a producer, rather than demanding this from his employees. He has revealed that Takahata and Goro Miyazaki (director of Tales from earthsea and Hayao's son) are developing projects for release after Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo. Suzuki decided to hand over the presidency to Hoshino because Hoshino has helped Studio Ghibli sell its videos since 1996, as well as helped to release the Princess Mononoke film in the United States. So the poll is to see whether members have enough knowledge of the studio's business and that apart from fan arts we really take some time to understand the real affairs behind all the brilliantly made movies and esp the characters, whom we admire.

I'm not too familiar with him, but was there anything released after he left? We can't measure the impact of his presence in movies if there hasn't been a movie.

He's not annything to do with "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time"?

That is actually "The girl who leapt through Space" and is a manga novel... maybe.
