Atsushi Okui was born in Shimane Prefecture, Japan in 1963. He started working in animation photography when he joined Asahi Production in 1982. The first project which he undertook as Director of Photography was the theatrical release of Dirty Pair: Project Eden (1987). Animated films he subsequently worked on include Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack (1988), Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (1991), as well as Studio Ghibli’s films Porco Rosso (1992) and Ocean Waves (1993).
Okui joined Studio Ghibli in 1993 and established its photography department in the same year. Thereafter he served as Director of Photography for films including Pom Poko (1994), Whisper of the Heart (1995), Princess Mononoke (1997), My Neighbours the Yamadas (1999), From Up on Poppy Hill (2011) and The Wind Rises (2013).

Shinsuke Nonaka was born in Gifu Prefecture, Japan in 1960. After graduating from the Faculty of Social Sciences at Hitotsubashi University and working at an audio system maker, Nonaka joined Studio Ghibli in 1994. Since then, he has worked extensively on legal and copyright matters and is currently its Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs. While his responsibilities are mainly contract-related, he occasionally supports public relations by appearing as the studio representative at public events—owing to his abundant knowledge of Studio Ghibli. He is also a councillor on the board of the Tokuma Memorial Cultural Foundation for Animation.
Nonaka is the model and inspiration for Nonaka-kun, the main character of the GHIBLIES episode2 (2002).
