The objective of this research is to study the view of family in Miyazaki Hayao's "Spirited Away". Chihiro, an adolescent girl, established an identity without the help of her parents. She grew up with the help of the pseudo family based on Kami and witches and monsters. This may be because Miyazaki was willing to support the diversification of the 21st century family. But also that Chihiro chose her parents, not pseudo family meant that Miyazaki returned to familyism. And he wanted to find the driving force of "the power to live" not in the love of parents, but in the absolute love of Kami and the pseudo family. It is thought that the diversity of family and the absolute love of Kami that impressed the Japanese who were mentally exhausted in 2001.
