Totoro theory

DId you guys know that Kodama from Princess Mononoke evolves to Big Totoro eventually?!Yes according to Studio Ghibli, that's true that they have this hidden story.Kodama is a mascot-like character that appears in "Princess Mononoke."Kodama (source: studio Ghibli)Totoro is a character that appears in "My Neighbor Totoro" and has a large, fluffy body.Totoro (source: studio ghibli)Kodama and Totoro don't seem to be connected at all, and they look very different in the first place. However, Kodama has evolved into Totoro over the years!!In fact, this surprising setting is also acknowledged by Director Miyazaki. An interview with director Miyazaki is included in the book "Princess Mononoke was born in this way." In it, Director Miyazaki said something like this.I have one thing I'm sick of. Totoro has lived for thousands of years, but Totoro hasn't come out, in this forest. I think there are actually a lot of Totoro (laughs). It's giving me a headache. Actually.(Omitted)It's okay to have even just one little one, so Kodama is walking around., so please put it in at the end. That evolved to Totoro (laughs). How about having ears over years? Then it will be consistent.--From "Princess Mononoke was born in this way"Director Miyazaki, you're really sick of Totoro's identity! lolOnly one Kodama appears at the end of "Princess Mononoke". This is a scene that shows that the destroyed forest will recover over the years. However, at the same time, it is also a scene that connects Kodama and Totoro.Although it is an unbelievable background setting, "Princess Mononoke" was in the Muromachi period. "My Neighbor Totoro" is set in the Showa period. "My Neighbor Totoro" is about 400 years after "Princess Mononoke".The large Totoro is 3,000 years old (there is also the theory that it is 1,300 years old), the medium Totoro is 679 years old, and the small Totoro is 109 years old. The largest Totoro may be a bit too hard to imagine, but considering that it is a small white Totoro, it is acceptable the story.In other words ... Kodama will become a small Totoro after about 100 years ...?Recap:Introduced the

Following the request of the paper's authors, the species was named for the character because he "uses a many-legged animal as a vehicle, which according to the collectors resembles a velvet worm".[89]BooksIn Japan in May 1988, Tokuma published a four-volume series of ani-manga books, which use color images and lines directly from My Neighbor Totoro.[90][91] The series was licensed for English-language release in North America by Viz Media, which released the books from November 10, 2004, through February 15, 2005.[92][93][94][95] A 111-page picture book based on the film and aimed at young children was released by Tokuma on June 28, 1988, and, in a 112-page English translation, by Viz
