Actually, Jeff and Leonard are second cousins. I'm assuming Wikipedia is accurate in the matter.

Anime: Hayao Miyazaki, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Rintaro. I've seen some of Satoshi Kon, but not enough to really gauge an opinion.
American: John Lassetter and Walt Disney.

Junichi Sato and Makoto Shinkai (though I've only seen one of his movies XD).

As for American animation, probably Don Bluth. His movies always rocked.
