My Neighbor Totoro. These beloved movies focus on heroic protagonists and a wholesome message, filled with themes of love, family, and magic. As each movie reaches its happy ending, audiences can't help but store each film away in their hearts as truly beautiful classics.
The main characters aren't the only ones that contribute to these films' beloved status in society. Each title has several ing characters, both good and bad, that contribute to the story. These characters have a variety of personalities that make them favorites among fans, who may find that their personality types (via their zodiac sign) line up perfectly together.
Aries - Yubaba
An Aries is bold and ambitious. They will dive headfirst into a challenge, and will likely come out successful because of it. Because of their high goals, it is always possible that an Aries will find themselves making questionable moral decisions to get what they want, which is exactly the case for Yubaba.
Yubaba from Spirited Away runs the spirit bathhouse that Chihiro finds herself contracted with. She is the main antagonist in the film and a very astute businesswoman. Like the other characters from that are based on a mythological origin, she has roots in Japanese folklore and is a being to be reckoned with, as any Aries would be.
Taurus - Sutemaru
Taurus personalities are reliable and protective. When they take someone under their wing, they are unlikely to ever let them down. This can also make them stubborn and somewhat possessive, but not always in a negative way. They tend to be the strong, silent type, but their stubbornness cannot be beaten.
This sounds just like Sutemaru from The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. He is quiet and stoic, but when he meets Kaguya, it quickly becomes clear that he would never let anything harm her. He is a strong and thoroughly good character, and a Taurus in every way.
Gemini - Markl
Gemini personalities are known to have two contradicting sides. They are gentle, curious, and affectionate, but they can also be doubtful and indecisive. They can sometimes flip between these personalities, but when they have made a true friend, they can always be counted on.
In Howl's Moving Castle, Markl is not immediately sure of what to think of Sophie, who burst her way into his home and begins to take charge. He treats her at first with slight annoyance and distrust, but as he gets to know her, his love becomes infallible.
Cancer - Fujimoto
A Cancer is tenacious and loyal. They know what they believe, and they will stick to that unless they have no choice. While they may not like to it it, they can also be slightly emotional, as well as suspicious and manipulative.
Fujimoto is the titular character's father in Ponyo. At first, he acts as the movie's antagonist, searching for Ponyo at all costs. However, as time goes on, he is softened and shows that he does care for her well-being, showing that even a Cancer can be flexible when needed.
Leo - Lin
Leos are ionate and creative. They are generous and warm-hearted to their friends, but they can also be extremely stubborn and inflexible. This can make them difficult to win over at first, especially since they can be self-centered.
In Spirited Away, Lin comes across as abrasive at first. She is reluctant to take Chihiro under her wing since she is a human, but in the end, she can't help but love her. In classic Leo fashion, she ended up risking everything to help her friend.
Virgo - Tatsuo
Virgos are analytical and hardworking. They tend to fit well in scholarly positions, where they are free to always seek new information. They are kind but can put too much pressure on themselves.
Tatsuo is the father of Satsuki and Mei in My Neighbor Totoro. He works as an archeologist and treats his daughters with the utmost love. However, he is very busy and is often working while at home, so Satsuki and Mei often wander and explore on their own.
Libra - Haku
Libras are known to be gracious, fair-minded, and diplomatic. They care about the world and the people around them and want to make sure that everyone is being treated the way they should. However, they can also be very anti-confrontation and will try to run from their own emotions.
When Chihiro meets Haku in the visually stunning film, Spirited Away, he puts himself at risk to protect her and help her survive the strange world that she found herself in. However, he also avoids talking about himself and ignores the fact that he no longer re who he is.
Scorpio - Calcifer
Scorpios tend to be resourceful and manipulative. If they have a goal in mind, they will do whatever it takes to achieve it, and likely will not care too much about what gets in their way. However, they also make fiercely loyal friends, once they have been won over.
Calcifer is Howl's fire demon in Howl's Moving Castle, and one of the most likable characters in the movie. He likes to think of himself as a terrible and powerful being, and when it comes down to it, he is. But he has a serious soft spot for his friends. While he is comfortable manipulating Sophie to get her to break his curse, he also truly loves his family.
Sagittarius - Tombo
Sagittarius personalities are adventurous, idealistic, and will typically have a great sense of humor. They are often charismatic and likable, but they lack patience and will often make bigger promises than they can keep.
Tombo is one of the Kiki's Delivery Service. He is well-liked by everyone in the neighborhood where Kiki settles. He is far from shy, and makes his interest in Kiki well known, to the point that she was a little thrown off by him at first. However, she found that she could not resist his charming sense of humor, and they became fast friends.
Capricorn - Moro
Capricorns are responsible and disciplined, with excellent self-control. They make phenomenal leaders as they are willing to do anything to protect the ones they feel responsible for. They can also be unforgiving, especially to those they feel have harmed them or the ones they love.
Moro is the goddess of the wolves and a fierce friend to San in Princess Mononoke. She is intelligent and strong, with divine wisdom that she uses to lead the wolf tribe. When it comes to mankind, she is extremely distrustful, considering them only capable of deception and destruction, but ultimately, she can recognize when their hearts and intentions are good.
