was a Japanese animator who worked for Studio Ghibli in his last years. He was born in Gosen, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. He worked as an animation director on ''Anne of Green Gables'', ''Sherlock Hound'', ''Kiki's Delivery Service'', ''Only Yesterday'' and ''Princess Mononoke''. Kondō directed the animated film ''Whisper of the Heart'', and was expected to become one of the top directors at Studio Ghibli, alongside Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, and to become their eventual successor. Kondō died of Aortic dissection – alternately aneurysm〔("Kondo - passing." ) Nausicaa.net. Retrieved 2012-09-19.〕 – in 1998. His death is said to have been caused by excess work, and seems to be the main reason for Hayao Miyazaki's announcement of retirement in 1998. Although in the end Miyazaki didn't retire for another 15 years, Kondō's death seems to have influenced Miyazaki to work at a more relaxed pace. ==Brief history== * March 31, 1950: Kondō is born in Gosen, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. * April, 1965: Enters Niigata Prefectural Muramatsu High School, where he is a member of the art club.
