My Neighbour Totoro is Studio Ghibli’s most iconic film, but fans of the animation company believe they’ve spotted some unsettling points that indicate a link to a famous murder case20:16, 16 Apr 2025My Neighbour Totoro fans have spotted some distressing links to a very high profile murder case.Article continues belowThe iconic Studio Ghibli film was released back in 1988 and follows two girls, Satsuke and her sister Mei, as they move into a house in the countryside with their father.The family wait for their mother to recover from a horrible illness in a nearby hospital and both Satsuke and Mei become friends with the spirits that live in a forest close to their new home. One of them is Totoro, a giant grey cat-like creature with pointy ears, a huge mouth and a large white patch on his belly.My Neighbour Totoro is a heartwarming tale and arguably Studio Ghibli’s most well-known animation, but the film has a dark side.Fans of the movie have spotted a few clues that the story of Satsuke, Mei and Totoro could be linked to the Sayama murder case.Article continues belowMy Neighbour Totoro is Studio Ghibli’s most iconic filmIn 1963, a 16-year-old girl was raped and murdered on her way home from school in the Sayama Prefecture region in Japan. The suspect was charged with 31 years in prison but rumours suggested he was innocent because another man committed suicide in the local area, just after the incident.Tests reportedly revealed that he had the same blood type as the suspect by suffered from erectile dysfunction, to the police thought he could not be the rapist.Ghibli fans have noticed that the girls’ names – Satsuke, which is Japanese for May, and Mei – reference the date of the attack.There are also a number of clues that My Neighbour Totoro is set in the Sayama Prefecture. These include a tea shop named Sayama Tea and the name of a hospital, which is almost an exact translation of a hospital located in the real life city.Film fans believe they’ve spotted links to the chilling case throughout the filmThe adorable Soot Sprites play with the young girls, but reportedly in Japanese folklore the creatures are actually seen before death.Later in the film the children meet the Cat Bus, but look closer and one of his stops translates to Path To The Grave.Some have also theorised that Totoro is actually a death god. The song states that he is only visible to children, but Kantu cannot see him.Instead, this could indicate that Totoro is only visible to those already deceased. The theory implies that Mei drowns in the river while looking for her sister, which is a chilling parallel to the Sayama case – the 16-year-old girl’s older sister committed suicide after attempting to track down her lost sibling.The Cat Bus stops at a place called Path to the GraveOver on Reddit, fans of the film have pointed out the similarities and one person wrote: “The film includes a few details that suggest a connection to a real-world incident, but the creators have come out and said it’s coincidental.”Another person debunked the claims, writing: “Some people like to make up edgy dark theories about simple family movies. I wouldn’t put any stock in them at all.”Someone else suggested: “Way less complicated: he’s a death god and he’s there to collect the soul of their mother.””Less complicated and as far as I understand the actual case: he’s the coping strategy of two children who are losing their mother to cancer.”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.
