The pair went on to launch Studio Ghibli in 1985, alongside producer Toshio Suzuki.
Takahata is perhaps best known for directing 1988's acclaimed Grave of the Fireflies. He also served as a producer and writer for a number of films, such as the much-admired Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Ghibli's first filmCastle in the Sky.
His last film, 2013's The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, was nominated for an Academy Award. In a 2016 interview with Variety, Takahata said he still had several projects still in mind.
"Whether those will be finalized as films is something that no one, myself included, can know," he said at the time.
Of course, Miyazaki came out of retirement last year to work on the forthcoming Ghibli film, How Do You Live?, which is set for release in 2020.
