What is the name of the young witch in 'Kiki's Delivery Service'? Her name is Kiki.
Kiki is the 13-year-old protagonist of Hayao Miyazaki’s 1989 Studio Ghibli film. According to the story’s tradition, a young witch leaves home at age 13 to spend a year living independently in a town where witches are needed. Kiki flies to the coastal city of Koriko with her talking black cat, Jiji.
After arriving, Kiki starts a delivery business using her broomstick. The service gives the film its title and becomes a practical way for her to support herself while learning confidence, responsibility, and independence. The character’s red bow, black dress, broom, and cat are among the film’s most recognizable images.
A common mix-up is confusing Kiki with the other important young characters. Tombo is the aviation enthusiast who befriends her, Ursula is the artist who helps her through a crisis, and Jiji is her black-cat companion. None of them is the witch herself. Kiki’s loss of flight and ability to understand Jiji represents a period of self-doubt before she recovers her confidence.
