theres actually a story behind that poster girl. when totoro was first being developed miyazaki was thinking of it as a book or short oneshot manga, he wanted to make something like that. at that stage, it was just one girl. but he needed to make a movie as a double feature with isao's grave of the fireflies, so he repurposed the concept into that. to expand it to a movie length he decided to split the one girl into two at slightly different ages so he could have a wider variety of scenes. miyazaki already had that concept art, so he just reused it as the poster, since fireflies was the main feature.
