Thesis Statement For Research Paper

My research topic is Hayao Myazaki. I think my thesis statement will be someting like " Hayao Myazaki is one of the greatest animated film directors of his time." I will edit it later on and add on to it. Also I don't necessarily want to base the whole paper on how he is the best animated film director, but more of a biography of his life. I am having trouble finding information on databases though. I think I am going to use google. I will have to find other sources though. I don't think I will be able to find many books, but I may be able to find at least one biography on him. I will probably have to buy it though, if I find one. If this topic is not successful, I think I will switch to Japanese Folklore.
