Chihiro (Spirited Away)

Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHI : Chihiro (Spirited Away)

Chihiro Ogino is the protagonist in the movie, Spirited Away. She has a very sullen, and no-nonsense personality. She is none too thrilled about the move her family makes at the beginning of the film, nor the subsequent detour her father makes into what appears to be an abandoned amusement park. Her misgivings about the "park" are confirmed when her parents are transformed into pigs after eating enchanted food, which Chihiro herself refused to eat. She drops her more serious persona at this point and behaves like the frightened child she is. After discovering, from a mysterious boy-like spirit called Haku, that the park is in fact a sort of resort for Japanese gods, Chihiro gets a job at the resort's bathhouse, which will be the backdrop for her own story of emotional growth.

Chihiro was voiced by child star Daveigh Chase in the American verison.
