{{Nihongo|'''''The Wind Rises'''''|風立ちぬ|Kaze Tachinu|{{lit|The Wind Has Risen}}|lead=yes}} is a 2013 Japanese [[Anime|animated]] [[historical drama film]] written and directed by [[Hayao Miyazaki]], animated by [[Studio Ghibli]] for the [[Nippon Television Network]], [[Dentsu]], [[Hakuhodo DY Media Partners]], [[Walt Disney Japan]], [[Mitsubishi Corporation|Mitsubishi]], [[Toho]] and [[KDDI]]. It was released in Japan on 20 July 2013 by Toho, and in North America by [[Touchstone Pictures]] on 21 February 2014.

Based on Miyazaki's [[manga]] of the same name, ''The Wind Rises'' portrays a fictionalised account of the life of Japanese aeronautical engineer [[Jiro Horikoshi]], in particular his engineering career from his time at the [[University of Tokyo]] in 1923 to the first test flight of the [[Mitsubishi Ka-14]] on 4 February 1935.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Green |first1=William |last2=Swanborough |first2=Gordon |title=The Zero Precursor...Mitsubishi's A5M| magazine=[[Air Enthusiast]] |issue=19 |date=August–November 1982 |pages=26–43}}</ref> Juxtaposed with the historical events is a fictional romance of Horikoshi's, inspired by the similarly-named semi-autobiographical novel ''[[The Wind Has Risen]]'' by [[Tatsuo Hori]].

<!-- Per WP:FilmPlot, plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words. -->
In 1918, a young [[Jiro Horikoshi]] longs to become a pilot, but his nearsightedness prevents it. Inspired by a magazine, he begins having recurring dreams of flying with his idol, Italian aircraft designer [[Giovanni Battista Caproni]], aboard the [[Caproni Ca.60]]. Caproni tells him that he has never flown a plane in his life, and that building planes is better than flying them. Five years later, following the real Ca.60's failure, Jiro is an aeronautical engineering student at [[Tokyo Imperial University]]. While traveling home from a visit with family, he meets a young girl, Nahoko Satomi, traveling with her maid Kinu. The [[Great Kantō earthquake]] suddenly hits, and Kinu's leg is broken. Jiro helps Nahoko carry her to Nahoko's family home, leaving without exchanging names.

In 1925, Jiro graduates with his friend [[Kiro Honjo]], and both are employed at aircraft manufacturer [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries|Mitsubishi]] amidst the [[Great Depression]]. They are assigned to perfect a fighter plane, the [[Mitsubishi 1MF9]], for the [[Imperial Japanese Army|Imperial Army]]. During a test, it breaks apart in midair and is rejected. Pivoting their plans, Mitsubishi sends Jiro and Honjo to the [[Weimar Republic]] in 1929 to obtain a production license for a [[Junkers G.38]] aircraft, intending to build a bomber. Although [[Hugo Junkers]] welcomes them, the two men are blocked from obtaining complete plans by the ''[[Sicherheitspolizei (Weimar Republic)|Sicherheitspolizei]]''. With them and their coworkers discouraged by how far back Japan's aeronautics technology is from the rest of the world, Jiro returns to Japan, while Honjo stays and eventually develops the [[Mitsubishi G4M]].

In early 1932, Jiro is promoted to chief designer for a fighter plane competition sponsored by the [[Imperial Japanese Navy|Imperial Navy]], but his design, the [[Mitsubishi 1MF10]], fails testing in 1933 and is rejected. Disappointed, he takes a vacation at a summer resort in [[Karuizawa]]. There he reunites with an adult Nahoko, who has been searching for him since they first met. The two quickly develop a romance, assisted by a German tourist named Castorp. Critical of [[Nazi Germany]], Castorp privately tells Jiro that [[Adolf Hitler]] has apprehended Junkers for resisting [[Nazism]], and that Germany must be stopped from declaring another world war, this time allied with Japan. He then flees arrest from the [[Special Higher Police]].

Later, Nahoko is diagnosed with [[tuberculosis]], so Jiro asks Nahoko's father for his blessing to marry her, and the two are engaged. However, Nahoko wishes to wait until she recovers to marry, and moves back in with her family. Wanted in connection with Castorp, Jiro hides at his supervisor Kurokawa's home while he works on a new fighter aircraft project for the Imperial Navy. Jiro briefly leaves when Nahoko suffers from a [[pulmonary hemorrhage]]. After Jiro briefly tends to her, Nahoko decides to check into a mountain [[sanatorium]] to recover, but cannot bear being apart from Jiro and returns to be with him. Kurokawa and his wife marry the two and allow the couple to stay in their home with Nahoko's father's permission. Jiro's sister Kayo, a doctor, warns Jiro that his marriage to Nahoko will end tragically as tuberculosis is incurable. Though Nahoko's health deteriorates, she and Jiro enjoy their fleeting time together.

Jiro leaves for the test flight of his new prototype aircraft, the [[Mitsubishi Ka-14]]. Knowing that she will die soon, Nahoko leaves farewell letters for Jiro, her family, and friends and discreetly leaves the house in a vain attempt to return to the sanatorium. At the test site, Jiro is distracted from his success by a gust of wind, suggesting Nahoko's passing. 

In 1945, after Japan has [[Surrender of Japan|lost]] [[World War II]], Jiro dreams of Caproni again, regretting that his aircraft was used for war. Caproni comforts him, saying that Jiro's dream of building beautiful aircraft was nonetheless realized, in the form of his masterpiece - the [[Mitsubishi A6M|A6M 'Zero' fighter]]. Nahoko's spirit also appears, encouraging her husband to live on. After her spirit departs, Jiro and Caproni walk together into their shared kingdom of dreams.

After the release of ''Ponyo'', Miyazaki wanted his next film to be a sequel to the film, but producer [[Toshio Suzuki]] proposed to adapt the manga ''The Wind Has Risen'' instead. At first, Miyazaki rejected the proposal because he created the manga as a hobby and considered its subjects not suitable for children, the traditional audience of Studio Ghibli's features.

The 32-track [[film score]] was composed and conducted by [[Joe Hisaishi]], and performed by the [[Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra]]. The film also includes singer-songwriter [[Yumi Matsutoya]]'s 1973 song {{nihongo|"[[Hikō-ki Gumo]]"|ひこうき雲}}. Matsutoya had collaborated with Studio Ghibli on ''Kiki's Delivery Service'', which features her songs {{nihongo|''[[Rūju no Dengon|Rouge no Dengon]]''|ルージュの伝言}} and {{nihongo|''Yasashisa ni Tsutsumaretanara''|やさしさに包まれたなら}}.

Critic David Ehrlich rated the film 9.7/10 and called it "perhaps the greatest animated film ever made". He wrote: "While initially jarring, Miyazaki's unapologetic deviations from fact help ''The Wind Rises'' to transcend the linearity of its expected structure, the film eventually revealing itself to be less of a biopic than it is a devastatingly honest lament for the corruption of beauty, and how invariably pathetic the human response to that loss must be. Miyazaki's films are often preoccupied with absence, the value of things left behind and how the ghosts of beautiful things are traced onto our memories like the shadows of objects outlined by a nuclear flash. ''The Wind Rises'' looks back as only a culminating work can."<ref>[https://www.mtv.com/news/2771199/the-wind-rises-review/ Review: 'The Wind Rises'] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141121100618/http://www.film.com/movies/the-wind-rises-review |date=21 November 2014 }}.

In Japan, ''The Wind Rises'' received criticism from both the Japanese political right<ref name="latimes20130815"/> and from the Japan Society for Tobacco Control.<ref name="guardian20130823">{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/23/hayao-miyazaki-film-wind-rises |title=Japanese animator under fire for film tribute to warplane designer |first=Justin |last=McCurry |work=The Guardian|date=23 August 2013 |access-date=25 August 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113021415/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/23/hayao-miyazaki-film-wind-rises |archive-date=13 January 2017  }}</ref> Miyazaki added to the controversy by publishing an essay in which he criticized the proposal by Japan's right-wing [[Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|Liberal Democratic Party]] to change [[Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution|Article 9]] of the [[Japanese Constitution]] to allow Japan to remilitarize.<ref name="latimes20130815"/><ref name="guardian20130823"/><ref>{{Cite web |last=Miyazaki |first=Hayao |title=憲法を変えるなどもってのほか |trans-title=Other than changing the Constitution |url=https://www.ghibli.jp/docs/0718kenpo.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130719122305/https://www.ghibli.jp/docs/0718kenpo.pdf |archive-date=2013-07-19 |access-date=2020-06-27 |website=Studio Ghibli}}</ref>

Miyazaki also attracted political criticism from [[Korea]]n internet users, who argued that the Zero represents Japanese military aggression and that many planes were assembled by Korean [[forced labour]].<ref name="guardian20130823"/> Miyazaki told Korean journalists that "[Horikoshi] was someone who resisted demands from the military...I wonder if he should be liable for anything just because he lived in that period."<ref name="guardian20130823"/> In an interview with the ''[[Asahi Shimbun]]'', Miyazaki said he had "very complex feelings" about World War II since, as a [[pacifist]], he felt militarist Japan had acted out of "foolish arrogance". However, he also said that the [[Zero plane]] "represented one of the few things we Japanese could be proud of—[they] were a truly formidable presence, and so were the pilots who flew them".<ref name="guardian20130823"/>
