Mamoru Hosoda
Mamoru Hosoda (細田 守 Hosoda Mamoru, born September 19, 1967) is a Japanese film director and animator. Formerly employed at Toei Animation, he went to work at Madhouse from 2005 to 2011. Hosoda left Madhouse in 2011 to establish his own animation studio, Studio Chizu. He first came to public attention in the early 2000s with the first two films in the Digimon Adventure series and the sixth film in the One Piece series. In the later 2000s, he diversified more with other films, including 2006's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, 2009's Summer Wars, and 2012's Wolf Children.
Hosoda was commissioned by Studio Ghibli to direct Howl's Moving Castle but was taken off the project during the early production stages due to failing to come up with a concept acceptable to Studio Ghibli bosses.
Hosoda studied oil painting at the Kanazawa College of Art.

Memorized
by: Josh WoodwardI saw your face, painted on the wall
Shapeless in space, colorless and small
I remember you, faded and subdued
I spent the day, haunted by your sight
Hiding away, curse away the light
I remember you, fading out of view
You're a memory now
You're all faded and brown
You're just namelessly hung
On the tip of my tongue in a silent remark
You're a memory now
You're just dust on the ground
Just a whisper of steam on the crest of a dream
While I walk in the dark
You're a memory now
Sheltered and safe, hidden and concealed
Your timid face, never was revealed
Shaded from the light, tepid and so slight
Shake off the dust, wipe away the years
Scrape off the rust, nothing more appears
I've been through it all, still I can't recall
You're a memory now
You're all faded and brown
You're just namelessly hung
On the tip of my tongue in a silent remark
You're a memory now
You're just dust on the ground
Just a whisper of steam on the crest of a dream
While I walk in the dark
