Goda (pictured below) created Domo-kun as the mascot for the Japanese public broadcaster NHK, and he oversaw the stop-motion shorts that the Japanese studio dwarf inc. animated. Goda's other works include the Komaneko film and PLUG, the New World, a project created in conjunction with Nissan Motors.
Shōjo manga pioneer Moto Hagio received the Inkpot Award last year, and Hayao Miyazaki received the award the year before.
