Ever wondered about the enigmatic No Face's identity from the iconic anime, Spirited Away?

Well, 22 years after the anime film's release, director Hayao Miyazaki has finally shed light on this mystery.

According to Hayao Miyazaki, No Face is everywhere

During a recent airing of Spirited Away on Nippon TV's Kinyo Roadshow, Miyazaki revealed, "Who exactly is No Face? There are many people like No Face in our midst... it's the type of person who wants to latch on to others but doesn't have a sense of themselves. They are everywhere," he said.

This revelation explains No Face's transparency and extreme personality shifts in the film

Initially, No Face showers others with gold in a bid for affection.

As it gains approval, its greed and ego inflate dramatically. It's only after Chihiro confronts No Face that it changes, adopting Chihiro's personality and becoming a quiet companion.

By the end of the film, No Face chooses to live with Zeniba, showing a change of heart.

This insight from Miyazaki offers a deeper understanding of No Face, a character that has intrigued fans for years.
