Founded on June 15, 1985, Studio Ghibli was headed by directors [[Hayao Miyazaki]] and [[Isao Takahata]] and producer [[Toshio Suzuki (producer)|Toshio Suzuki]]. Miyazaki and Takahata had already had long careers in Japanese film and television animation and had worked together on ''[[The Great Adventure of Horus, Prince of the Sun]]'' in 1968 and the ''[[Panda! Go, Panda!]]'' films in 1972 and 1973. Suzuki had been an editor at [[Tokuma Shoten]]'s ''[[Animage]]'' [[manga]] magazine.<ref>{{cite press release |id={{ProQuest|2794953208}} |title=Toshio Suzuki Returns as Studio Ghibli President |work=Jiji Press English News Service |date=4 April 2023 |publisher=Studio Ghibli }}</ref>

The studio was founded after the success of the 1984 film ''[[Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (film)|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind]]''. Suzuki was part of the film's production team, and founded Studio Ghibli with Miyazaki, who also invited Takahata to join them.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Isao Takahata // Miyazaki's Colleagues // Nausicaa.net |url=http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/takahata/ |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=www.nausicaa.net |archive-date=November 20, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071120134844/http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/takahata/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Who's Who // Nausicaa.net |url=http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/whoswho/#suzuki |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=www.nausicaa.net |archive-date=October 25, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181025210559/http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/whoswho/#suzuki |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-21 |title=Studio Ghibli {{!}} History, Film, & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Studio-Ghibli |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en |archive-date=November 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231130170620/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Studio-Ghibli |url-status=live }}</ref>

The studio has mainly produced films by Miyazaki, with the second most prolific director being Takahata (most notably with ''[[Grave of the Fireflies]]''). Other directors who have worked with Studio Ghibli include [[Yoshifumi Kondō]], [[Hiroyuki Morita]], [[Gorō Miyazaki]], and [[Hiromasa Yonebayashi]]. Composer [[Joe Hisaishi]] has provided the soundtracks for most of Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli films. In their book ''Anime Classics Zettai!'', Brian Camp and Julie Davis made note of [[Michiyo Yasuda]] as "a mainstay of Studio Ghibli's extraordinary design and production team".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Camp |first1=Brian |last2=Davis |first2=Julie |date=September 15, 2007 |title=Anime Classics Zettai |url=https://archive.org/details/animeclassicszet0000camp/page/292 |page=[https://archive.org/details/animeclassicszet0000camp/page/292 292] |location=Berkeley California |publisher=Stone Bridge Press |isbn=978-1-933330-22-8 |access-date=February 14, 2014 |url-access=registration }}</ref> At one time the studio was based in [[Kichijōji]], [[Musashino, Tokyo|Musashino]], Tokyo.<ref name="FirefliesAnimerica11">"The Animerica Interview: Takahata and Nosaka: Two Grave Voices in Animation."

In August 1996, [[The Walt Disney Company]] and Tokuma Shoten formed a partnership wherein [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures|Walt Disney Studios]] would be the sole international distributor for Tokuma Shoten's Studio Ghibli animated films.<ref name=":2" /> Under this agreement, Disney also agreed to finance 10% of the studio's production costs.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|last=Hill|first=Jim|date=April 14, 2020|title=The Making of Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" -- Part 1|url=https://jimhillmedia.com/the-making-of-hayao-miyazakis-spirited-away-part-5/|access-date=October 11, 2020|website=jimhillmedia.com|archive-date=March 30, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170330025215/http://jimhillmedia.com/alumni1/b/michael_howe/archive/2003/04/15/1391.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> Since then, all three of the aforementioned films by Miyazaki at Studio Ghibli that were previously dubbed by Streamline Pictures have been re-dubbed by Disney.<ref>{{cite news|title=August Issue News Section:Disney Will Distribute Japanese Animation|url=https://www.awn.com/mag/issue1.5/articles/newsmag1.5.html|access-date=July 19, 2011|newspaper=Animation World Magazine|date=August 1996|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929163204/http://www.awn.com/mag/issue1.5/articles/newsmag1.5.html|archive-date=September 29, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> On June 1, 1997, Tokuma Shoten Publishing consolidated its media operations by merging Studio Ghibli, Tokuma Shoten Intermedia software and Tokuma International under one location.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Karrfalt|first1=Wayne|title=Tokuma looks to merge film, media distribution|url=http://nausicaa.tzone.org/miyazaki/disney/media-coverage2.html|access-date=May 21, 2015|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=May 27, 1997|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305123810/http://nausicaa.tzone.org/miyazaki/disney/media-coverage2.html|archive-date=March 5, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

Over the years, there has been a close relationship between Studio Ghibli and the magazine ''Animage'', which regularly runs exclusive articles on the studio and its members in a section titled "Ghibli Notes". Artwork from Ghibli's films and other works are frequently featured on the cover of the magazine. [[Saeko Himuro]]'s novel ''Umi ga Kikoeru'' was serialised in the magazine and subsequently adapted into ''[[Ocean Waves (film)|Ocean Waves]]'', Studio Ghibli's first animated feature-length film created for television. It was directed by [[Tomomi Mochizuki]].<ref name="nausicaa-faq">{{cite web|url=http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/umi/faq.html|title=Umi ga Kikoeru: Frequently Asked Questions|last=Toyama|first=Ryoko|publisher=[[Nausicaa.net]]|access-date=August 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170820014631/http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/umi/faq.html|archive-date=August 20, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

In October 2001, the [[Ghibli Museum]] opened in [[Mitaka, Tokyo]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Japan, 18–28 April 2003|url=https://japan.fjordaan.net/03_ghibli.html|publisher=fjordaan.net|access-date=April 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141201002759/http://japan.fjordaan.net/03_ghibli.html|archive-date=December 1, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> It contains exhibits based on Studio Ghibli films and shows animations, including a number of short Studio Ghibli films not available elsewhere.

The studio is also known for its strict "no-edits" policy in licensing their films abroad due to ''Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'' being [[Editing of anime in American distribution|heavily edited]] for the film's release in the United States as ''Warriors of the Wind''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rodriguez |first=Kevin T. |date=2022-08-15 |title=The History of Naussica's Infamous First Dub |url=https://gamerant.com/naussicaa-first-dub-history/ |access-date=2024-11-11 |website=Game Rant |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Moon |first=Kat |date=2021-07-20 |title=How Spirited Away Changed Animation Forever |url=https://time.com/6081937/spirited-away-changed-animation-studio-ghibli/ |access-date=2024-11-11 |magazine=[[TIME]] |language=en |quote=Miyazaki was wary of foreign distribution for his films after the director’s 1984 movie Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was infamously edited by Manson International for its U.S. release.

===Independent era===
Between 1999 and 2005, Studio Ghibli was a subsidiary brand of [[Tokuma Shoten]]; however, that partnership ended in April 2005, when Studio Ghibli was spun off from Tokuma Shoten and was re-established as an [[privately held company|independent company]] with relocated headquarters.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zatychies |first=Maki |date=2020-06-03 |title=Disney Changed Studio Ghibli Movies Without Permission |url=https://screenrant.com/studio-ghibli-movies-disney-changes-kikis-delivery-service/ |access-date=2024-11-11 |website=ScreenRant |language=en |quote=As of 2005, Studio Ghibli separated from Tokuma Shoten but retained its contract with Disney.}}</ref>

On February 1, 2008, Toshio Suzuki stepped down from the position of Studio Ghibli president, which he had 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. Suzuki decided to hand over the presidency to Hoshino because Hoshino has helped Studio Ghibli to sell its videos since 1996 and has also aided the release of the ''Princess Mononoke'' film in the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://mainichi.jp/enta/mantan/news/20080201mog00m200025000c.html |script-title=ja:スタジオジブリ社長に星野康二氏 |access-date=February 1, 2008 |language=ja |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080202055310/http://mainichi.jp/enta/mantan/news/20080201mog00m200025000c.html |archive-date=February 2, 2008}}</ref> Suzuki still serves on the company's board of directors.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Loo |first=Egan |date=2024-11-12 |title=Ghibli Head Suzuki Steps Down, Remains as Producer |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-02-01/ghibli-head-suzuki-steps-down-remains-as-producer |access-date=2024-11-13 |website=Anime News Network |language=en}}</ref>

Takahata developed a project for release after Gorō Miyazaki's (director of ''[[Tales from Earthsea (film)|Tales from Earthsea]]'' and Hayao's son) ''[[The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (film)|The Tale of the Princess Kaguya]]'' – an adaptation of ''[[The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter]]''.

On Sunday, September 1, 2013, Hayao Miyazaki held a press conference in Venice to confirm his retirement, saying: "I know I've said I would retire many times in the past. Many of you must think, 'Once again.' But this time I am quite serious."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Highfill|first=Samantha|date=September 6, 2013|url=https://ew.com/article/2013/09/06/hayao-miyazaki-retirement/|title=Hayao Miyazaki on his retirement: 'This time I am quite serious'|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=October 27, 2019|archive-date=October 21, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021053757/http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/09/06/hayao-miyazaki-retirement/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2013, a documentary directed by Mami Sunada called {{nihongo|''[[The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness]]''|夢と狂気の王国|Yume to kyōki no ōkoku|lead=yes}} was created delving into the lives of those working at Studio Ghibli and the productions of the animated films ''The Wind Rises'' and ''The Tale of the Princess Kaguya'', including storyboard sketching, inking, painting, and voice actor selection for the films.<ref>{{cite news|last=Debruge|first=Peter|title=Toronto Film Review: 'The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness'|url=https://variety.com/2014/film/festivals/toronto-film-review-the-kingdom-of-dreams-and-madness-1201298114/|newspaper=Variety|date=4 September 2014|access-date=19 September 2015|archive-date=November 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211102171211/https://variety.com/2014/film/festivals/toronto-film-review-the-kingdom-of-dreams-and-madness-1201298114/|url-status=live}}</ref>

On April 4, 2023, Koji Hoshino announced that he had stepped down as chairman, and would serve as a representative director before planning to exit Studio Ghibli completely during the company's annual general shareholder's meeting in June, one month prior to the release of director Hayao Miyazaki's final movie ''[[The Boy and the Heron]]'' on July 14.<ref name=":5" /> He also announced that Toshio Suzuki would be replacing Kiyofumi Nakajima as president of Studio Ghibli, assuming the role for the first time since 2008, while Nakajima would continue to serve as a director.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hoshino |first=Koji |date=4 April 2023 |title=Greetings |url=https://www.ghibli.jp/info/013737/ |access-date=4 April 2023 |publisher=Studio Ghibli |language=ja |archive-date=April 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404161840/https://www.ghibli.jp/info/013737/ |url-status=live }}</ref> This change of management came about amidst reports that Suzuki had allegedly been mismanaging company funds by directing them towards his girlfriend's failed business ventures. This reportedly created tension between Suzuki and Hoshino, with the latter reportedly citing it as a long-term internal problem at the company since the couple met in 2013 and was the reason for his planned departure from the company, although a spokesperson for Studio Ghibli in a statement to ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' denied that Hoshino's departure had anything to do with these reports.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 March 2023 |script-title=ja:ジブリ生みの親・鈴木敏夫氏がタイ人女性にベタ惚れで内部崩壊！ タイで公認レストラン経営、未経験で写真家に起用、社長を更迭、公私混同すぎる驚きの振る舞い |author=<!--Not stated--> |url=https://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/27340 |access-date=4 April 2023 |website=Shukan Josei PRIME |language=ja |archive-date=April 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404161843/https://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/27340 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Leung |first=Hilary |date=28 March 2023 |title=Studio Ghibli President Ousted as Co-Founder Spends Company Money on Girlfriend |url=https://www.cbr.com/studio-ghibli-president-ousted-co-founder-spends-money-girlfriend/ |access-date=4 April 2023 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |language=en |archive-date=April 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404161840/https://www.cbr.com/studio-ghibli-president-ousted-co-founder-spends-money-girlfriend/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Frater |first=Patrick |date=4 April 2023 |title=Studio Ghibli President Hoshino Koji Resigns |url=https://variety.com/2023/film/asia/studio-ghibli-hoshino-koji-1235572918/ |access-date=4 April 2023 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |language=en |archive-date=April 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405102714/https://variety.com/2023/film/asia/studio-ghibli-hoshino-koji-1235572918/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The source of the allegations came from the tabloid paper, ''Shūkan Josei'' and was not corroborated by the mainstream media in Japan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-04-04/ghibli-founder-toshio-suzuki-replaces-koji-hoshino-as-studio-president/.196768|title=Ghibli Founder Toshio Suzuki Replaces Koji Hoshino as Studio President|date=June 23, 2023|publisher=Anime News Network|access-date=May 20, 2023|archive-date=May 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230520021216/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-04-04/ghibli-founder-toshio-suzuki-replaces-koji-hoshino-as-studio-president/.196768|url-status=live}}</ref>

In October 2023, the studio became a subsidiary of [[Nippon Television|Nippon Television Holdings, Inc.]]. Studio Ghibli's leadership transitioned to [[Hiroyuki Fukuda]], a senior executive at NTV. Toshio Suzuki became chairman and Hayao Miyazaki became Honorary Chairman. Nippon TV acquired a 42.3% stake in Studio Ghibli. The decision was driven by the advanced ages of Miyazaki and Suzuki, aged 82 and 75, respectively. The studio had considered Miyazaki's son, Goro Miyazaki, as a successor but opted for external leadership due to concerns and Goro's reluctance. NTV started to handle management, allowing Studio Ghibli to focus on creative endeavors.<ref name="TJT-NT">{{Cite web |last1=Inoue |first1=Yukana |last2=Benoza |first2=Kathleen |date=2023-09-21 |title=Studio Ghibli set to become subsidiary of Nippon TV |url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/09/21/companies/nippon-tv-ghibli-acquisition/ |access-date=2023-09-21 |website=The Japan Times |language=en |archive-date=September 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230921182705/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/09/21/companies/nippon-tv-ghibli-acquisition/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Takai |first=Shinichi |title=日本テレビによるスタジオジブリの株式取得に関するお知らせ |url=https://www.ghibli.jp/info/013778/ |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=Studio Ghibli |language=ja |archive-date=September 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230921093423/https://www.ghibli.jp/info/013778/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The takeover took effect on October 6.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nishimura |first=Karyn |title=Hayao Miyazaki : Ghibli, c'est toujours lui |url=https://www.liberation.fr/culture/cinema/hayao-miyazaki-ghibli-cest-toujours-lui-20231002_YPOC7QDDAVBAFEPSZ6IFRPLS5U/ |access-date=2023-10-03 |website=Libération |language=fr |url-access=subscription |archive-date=October 3, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003161104/https://www.liberation.fr/culture/cinema/hayao-miyazaki-ghibli-cest-toujours-lui-20231002_YPOC7QDDAVBAFEPSZ6IFRPLS5U/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
