A man in Japan A man was on holiday in Japan. As a huge anime fan, he went to visit with Miyazaki and was lucky enough to join a group of tourists and be shown around the studios. During the tour he noticed a room marked 'life size mock ups' (in Japanese, of course, a language that the gentleman was fluent in). Hanging back a little, he waited until the rest of the group had turned a corner and slipped inside. His eyes widened as he saw full size sets of nearly the entire back catalogue of Studio Ghibli movies. He wandered around, absolutely giddy with reverence. After a couple of hours of looking, he was about to go and rejoin the tour group, when he noticed a young woman sitting on the steps of a castle with her head lowered on her knees. He decided to go and ask if she was lost, but as he got closer he noticed that she was crying. Slowing his approach to a cautious sidle, he inquired in perfect Japanese why she was crying. As she lifted her head, she removed what looked like a pair of headphones, but as they came free of her head, he saw there was only one driver. As he moved round in front of her, he saw that she was missing an ear. Trying not to make it obvious that he'd spotted her disfigurement, he asked if she was crying because her headphones were broken. ""No!"", she sobbed back at him, ""I'm locked out of my castle, with no way to unlock the door!"". ""Ah!"", said the man, ""Pleased to meet you, Princess Mononoke!""
