Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) is the sixth film by Makoto Shinkai. The film was animated by CoMix Wave Films and distributed by Toho. The film premiered at Anime Expo on July 3, 2016, and opened in Japan on August 26, 2016. Shinkai published a novelization a month prior to the film's theatrical premiere.Your Name follows the lives of two high school students, Mitsuha Miyamizu and Taki Tachibana. Rural-bred Mitsuha has long been dissatisfied with her life in the countryside and resents her role as a Miko, as well as the way her father focused on his political career instead of caring for his children.Her wish of being reborn as a handsome Tokyo boy is seemingly granted when she wakes up in Tokyo and is treated to a day in the life of a busy Tokyo high school student, adjusting to the hustle and bustle of the city that stands in stark contrast to the sleepy town of Itomori. While she dismisses her experiences as a dream, the phenomenon, seemingly related to the appearance of Comet Tiamat, begins to occur with increasing frequency, bringing Taki and Mitsuha together in a way they previously thought unimaginable. | |

Those Two Guys: Mitsuha's unnamed classmates, two female students and one male student, occasionally make snide remarks about her but otherwise have a minor presence in the plot, showing up only for a brief moment in the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue. Tsukasa and Takagi are Taki's friends, being supportive of him but otherwise have a limited role in the narrative. They share contrasting personalities; Tsukasa is more level-headed and is concerned with Taki whenever Mitsuha inhabits his body, while Takagi is more quick to jump into a situation. | |

Real-Place Background: The surroundings of Taki's home are based on Wakaba, a neighbourhood near Yotsuya Station and Shinjuku; true to its incarnation in the film, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is visible, and a straight line projected from Taki's apartment through the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building does intersect with Lake Suwa and Hida in Gifu. The stairwell in promotional materials and seen in the film's ending are modeled after the stairs leading up to the Suga shrine in Yotsuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo. The town of Itomori is modeled after Hida in Gifu Prefecture, while Itomori lake is modeled after Lake Suwa. | |

Your Name / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: The name of the Italian restaurant Taki works at translates as The Garden of Words. Curiously, this decision was made by the environment artist, rather than Shinkai himself. The name of the comet "Tiamat" sounds strikingly similar to the Italian phrase "ti amo", which means "I love you." Now consider the genre of the film... If you want to head straight into Latin, "Tiamat" also sounds quite similar to "te amat", which directly translates to "he/she loves you". | |

Parental Abandonment: After Mitsuha's mother Futaba died from an illness, a grief-stricken Toshiki abandoned his duties as a priest and leaves after his mother-in-law, Hitoha, tells him to get lost, leaving Mitsuha and Yotsuha with her. From here on out, their relationship is a contentious one. Taki's mother is absent in the movie; Taki and his father never mention her, and neither the novel nor Taki's section of Another Side: Earthbound provide insight as to how this came to be. According to Makoto Shinkai, she and her husband are divorced. | |

Bland-Name Product: Although there is Product Placement in the film, KFC appears as KEO, Prudential Financial becomes Pararudenta Financial and Tsukasa uses a Somy phone◊. This last one is odd because Sony in its unedited form is visible in shots of Yunika Vision. Miki and Taki also pass by a building with "Top Camera" in Akasaka-Mitsuke at the end of the film. The actual building has a Bic Camera outlet instead. | |

Important Haircut | |
Your Name / int_4655ec83 | comment |
Important Haircut: Mitsuha cuts her hair the night before Comet Tiamat's perigee. Tessie suggests that Mitsuha might've had her heart broken, and this turns out to be true that she did it because of her feelings for a guy. While seemingly far-fetched, it turns out that Mitsuha went to Tokyo to bid Taki the best on his date with Miki, but because of the disparity in their timelines, the Taki she finds does not recognise her. Considering that learning about her death was a surprise, it cannot be said that she was anticipating to reduce the physical toll from having to do a lot of running during the Itomori evacuation the next day. | |

Human Notepad: Taki and Mitsuha scribble notes on the other's body to communicate and express their frustration at one another when the body-switching starts. Taki later suggests that they write their names on one another's hands so that they do not forget one another after meeting in person for the first time. It doesn't work, both because Taki writes "I love you" instead of his name, and because they get shunted back into their own times before Mitsuha can draw more than the first stroke of her name. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
Your Name / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: In the scene where Tessie's father and Toshiki are having dinner, there is a very small calendar that shows the year is 2013. The first time Mitsuha attends school in Taki's body, a poster can be seen in his classroom showing the year is 2016. When Taki and Mitsuha are looking through their phones at one point, one of the dates shown is September 12, although the day of week is different. When Mitsuha is walking around Tokyo trying to find Taki, one of the places she is seen passing through is the set of stairs where she would eventually reunite with him. When Mitsuha meets Taki in Tokyo before Taki even knew Mitsuha, Taki is seen with notes to study English. The two phrases shown on his notes are: "Have you seen Tiamat's comet?" and "I'm looking for my counterpart", both of which are significant within the film's context. The unused clubroom that Mitsuha, Tessie and Sayaka met in is filled with old game consoles like Nintendo GameCube, and the one shot of the room door shows that the room was formerly used by many other clubs. The presence of games like Metal Gear Solid suggest that the students had transformed the club room into a game room after the other clubs were shut down. When the adult Taki briefly sees Mitsuha in the train station, Takao Akizuki from The Garden of Words can be seen among the crowd. During the final act, the kanji for Miyamizu can be seen on the nameplate of the now-adult Mitsuha's apartment front door, confirming that it's really her and not an Identical Stranger. | |

Your Name / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: The film starts when Taki and Mitsuha are adults, reflecting on the dream they cannot quite remember. After briefly glimpsing one another while on separate trains, the narrative returns to when they were high school students. Toshiki's section in Another Side: Earthbound starts with Taki-as-Mitsuha attempting to convince him to order Itomori's evacuation before flashing back to Toshiki's first meeting with Futaba and Hitoha twenty years prior to the events of the film. | |

Tsukasa and Takagi are Taki's friends, being supportive of him but otherwise have a limited role in the narrative. They share contrasting personalities; Tsukasa is more level-headed and is concerned with Taki whenever Mitsuha inhabits his body, while Takagi is more quick to jump into a situation. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Taki tries finding Mitsuha and Itomori with nothing but a drawing of the town and without even knowing Itomori's name. Predictably, it doesn't work out. Similarly, Mitsuha trying to find Taki in Tokyo on a whim without proper planning goes equally poorly. Taki forgets having met Mitsuha in Tokyo in 2013 because the likelihood of remembering someone who seemingly randomly bumps into you 3 years ago isn't high. Mitsuha, Sayaka and Tessie's aim of evacuating Itomori prior to the projected impact event is stymied by their limited resources and the adults dismissing their predictions as ludicrous. Even then, all they can do is evacuate the town; outright stopping the comet fragment, like might happen in a more fantastic story, is never even considered. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Your Name / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Mitsuha's grandmother mentions that a great fire destroyed Itomori's records, taking with it the meaning behind their rituals. This hints at the idea that even if people can be saved, their traditions will be lost to time. It's also possible that there was a record of Tiamat's previous orbit, when a fragment impacted and created the town lake. When Mitsuha-in-Taki first visits a cafe and gapes at the prices, she is asked jokingly what era she's from. She actually is from the past after all. In the novelisation, Mitsuha comments that Taki's crush on Miki is one-sided because she's older than he is, but as it turns out, so is Mitsuha. At one point, Mitsuha & Taki insulted each other for having no girlfriend/boyfriend. This ended up true as in the epilogue, both still remained single & not in any romantic relationship until their fateful reunion, which reinforces the Red String of Fate at play. When both Taki and Mitsuha flip back to their previous day's journal entry, both are dated September 12. However, Taki's falls on a Monday, whereas Mitsuha's falls on a Thursday, suggesting that their timelines differ. During Taki's date with Miki, they visit a photo exhibition on nostalgia where some of the photos showcase Itomori and life in a bygone era, as well as remembering a town already destroyed. Right after Taki's failed date with Miki, he finds a message from Mitsuha in his phone that mentions Comet Tiamat, which had passed three years earlier. When he tries to contact her directly, he cannot connect as her number no longer exists. Mitsuha cuts her hair short and doesn't wear her red hair tie, because she had already given it to Taki when she went to Tokyo to see him, but since Taki doesn't start swapping bodies with her until three years later from his perspective, he didn't know who she is. Taki and his friends first see Itomori from the derelict high school, which was spared from destruction. Later, Taki-as-Mitsuha gets the citizens to evacuate here knowing the site will be safe. | |

Homage: There are not one but two moments where the now-adult protagonists pass each other seemingly without recognizing, heartwrenchingly similar to what happens at the end of 5 Centimeters per Second, which makes Taki calling out to Mitsuha and her responding positively so much more touching and awesome for not letting it play out the same way. The way Mitsuha's trip to Tokyo to find Taki works out - a country girl travelling to the big city in search of someone important to her and spending a day in fruitless search only to find him at the last minute - also mirrors Kanae's experience in the manga adaptation of the above. | |

Mood Whiplash: The film projects a comedic atmosphere surrounding the misunderstandings that arise when Taki and Mitsuha exchange bodies, but once the phenomenon ceases, things take on a much more dramatic, emotional tone. When Taki and Mitsuha meet in person on the edge of the caldera, emotions begin building up right up until Mitsuha seizes the moment to call Taki a pervert. The rest of the scene remains light-hearted until the twilight ends. Mitsuha subsequently vanishes, unable to finish writing her name on Taki's hand. | |

Chekhov's Classroom: Yukari mentions the phrase "tasokare-doki/kataware-doki", an ancient term for "twilight" sounding phonetically similar to "who is that?", characterising twilight as "when the world blurs and one might encounter something extraordinary". Mitsuha and Taki subsequently meet one another under twilight for the first time. While inhabiting Mitsuha's body, Taki learns about the concept of "musubi", which he later recalls, leading him to drink the kuchikamisake that Mitsuha had made and send himself back to Itomori with the goal of saving the town. | |

The Art of Bra Removal: The opposite holds true here. Taki lacks the familiarity to put on a bra while he's inhabiting Mitsuha's body, and goes braless instead. Mitsuha eventually has to deal with it herself by wearing one to bed, as we see the morning of the trip to the mountain shrine. Unfortunately, one of the switch days before she does so is a day the girls play basketball in gym class, leading to some very obvious bouncing. | |

Adults Are Useless: Mitsuha only has Tessie and Sayaka's assistance in attempting to evacuate Itomori ahead of the impact event, as all of the adults have dismissed their claims and pay them no heed. However, this becomes subverted when Mitsuha attempts to convince her father to order an evacuation and succeeds. | |

Hero Stole My Bike: In the climax, Taki-as-Mitsuha borrows Tessie's bike so he can get to the Miyamizu goshintai; his body (and Mitsuha's consciousness) are there in 2016, which allows the two to meet face-to-face for the first time. On the way there Taki slips on a hill, barely saving himself but breaking the bike; later Mitsuha (back in her own body) tells Tessie "He said 'sorry about your bike'", much to the latter's confusion. | |

Your Name / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: One of the news commentators remarks that the probability of Comet Tiamat's fragment striking a populated area was unlikely. Toshiki's section of Another Side: Earthbound discusses how many shrines pass on all their secrets to only one designated heir, including the disadvantages of this system should that heir die before passing those secrets on in turn. Anyone who's watched the film before reading the book will wince, knowing exactly what's going to happen to Futaba in future. | |

Weirdness Censor: After the people of Itomori are saved from the Meteor and the body swaps stop Mitsuha and Taki forget everything that happened to them, at least on the surface level. Emotionally (and probably spiritually) a part of them still remembers that they loved somebody and miss them dearly. | |

Chekhov's Hobby: Tessie works part-time as a construction worker, and his father tells him to learn how to handle explosives. His skill with explosives are called upon when Mitsuha asks him to destroy a local transformer to prompt an evacuation. Tessie's room shows him to be a collector and tinkerer of audio and electronic equipment, which is how he comes up with the idea to make the fake evacuation broadcast. A member of the broadcasting club, Sayaka hijacks the town's broadcasting system to announce the need for evacuation. Mitsuha's experience in weaving allows Mitsuha-as-Taki to mend Miki's skirt when it is slashed by ruffians. Taki is a capable artist, and is first seen drawing Itomori while inhabiting Mitsuha's body. His renditions are accurate enough to remind a local of the town's name, bringing Taki a step closer on his journey to learn more about Mitsuha. | |

As he's preparing for re-election at the start of the film proper, comet Tiamat destroys the town into it one month later and with it, his goals of revitalising Itomori. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Near the beginning Mitsuha wishes "make me a handsome boy in my next life". According to some cultures, waking up each day is a kind of rebirth... In Tessie's part of Another Side: Earthbound, he fantasises about destroying Itomori, because with his family company's strong ties to the town, it's the only way he'll ever be allowed to leave the town and get out from under his father's thumb. However, Tessie does not anticipate the impact event that ultimately destroys the town. | |

Cosmic Plaything: An entire town. As of present day, Itomori has been hit by a meteor at least three times (One time forming the crater where the shrine is, one time forming the lake and one time destroying the city). This could also apply to the entire Miyamizu bloodline, since it's heavily implied that members of the family in the past often shared Mitsuha's 'swapping bodies' experience with someone else, which may be related to some supernatural attempt to protect the town from the constant meteor strikes during each Tiamat passing as well. | |

Lost in Translation | |
Your Name / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: A scene where Mitsuha-in-Taki confuses his friends by repeatedly using the wrong pronouns was replaced with her saying "when a girl... when a gal... when a guy" in the English dub. There wasn't much else they could do, since English doesn't have gender-specific pronouns for "me," but accidentally saying "atashi" instead of "ore" is a lot more plausible than seemingly forgetting one's own gender (men sometimes use "watashi," just not to their friends), so this makes it seem strange that Taki's friends move on afterward as if nothing happened. | |

Maybe Ever After: The film leaves the outcome of Taki and Mitsuha's reunion open, while the novel suggests the two end up together. The light novel to Weathering With You implies they are married by 2024, as there is a one-line mention of "her grandson's wedding" when Hodaka visits Taki's grandmother after the Time Skip, but considering the timeline incompatibilities, one is free to decide for yourself the canonicity of that. Shinkai has since confirmed in a Q&A for Weathering With You that they did, in fact, end up marrying. Mitsuha even made a braided cord for Taki's grandmother! | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: In Toshiki's section of Another Side: Earthbound, he speculates on why a shrine like the Miyamizus' that enshrines the celestial deity Shitori no Kami would find affinity with terrestrial deities like Izumo Taisha's. He suggests that they might have once worshipped a rebel against the other celestials like Ame no Kagaseo, at least until a meteorite impact and the consequent deaths that would be viewed as the deity letting them down, prompting the Miyamizu to switch to worshipping Ame no Kagaseo's enemy Shitori no Kami instead. | |

Faked Food Contaminant: Near the end of Mitsuha's first day in Taki's body, a customer at the restaurant Taki works at reports finding a toothpick in his pizza. Mitsuha points out the restaurant doesn't have toothpicks, so the man tries to make a scene and Miki decides it's better to follow the manual and make his pizza free of charge. After the restaurant closes for the day, the staff lament that it was clear he was scamming them, and it further turns out that he slashed Miki's skirt with a box cutter on his way out. | |

Shout-Out | |
Your Name / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The composition of the shot and narrative context when Taki and Mitsuha meet at twilight at the mountain shrine crater is very similar◊ to one from The Place Promised in Our Early Days. It's not the only similar shot either. Both films also begin with How We Got Here scenes where now-adult protagonist(s) reflect on the feeling of having lost something before flashing back to their younger days. As this Reddit post points out, the concept of a god's body in the underworld, where one goes to try and save a dead love interest, and having to make a sacrifice to return to the mortal realm was also present in Children Who Chase Lost Voices. The external appearance of both places is also similar. Yukino from The Garden of Words makes an appearance as Mitsuha's literature teacher. The Italian restaurant that Taki works at is called "Il Giardino Delle Parole", Italian for "The garden of words". The café Taki and friends go to is also "Leaves of Words", which is almost a literal translation of the Japanese word for "word", kotoba 言葉. Train tracks akin to those seen in 5 Centimeters per Second separate Taki and Mitsuha when they spot one another and run to meet up at the film's conclusion. Both films also have shots where the male lead traces out a route on a map using a marker while finding the way to the female lead. In the novelisation, Mitsuha is so embarrassed by the thought of doing the miko dance that she inwardly thinks that she would rather be killed by Jason Voorhees. In Taki's section of Another Side: Earthbound, he dances Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" while in Mitsuha's body. When Taki is in Starbucks as an adult, one of the staff that can be seen looks suspiciously like Chihiro from Spirited Away. | |

Sayaka spends most of the film with twin braids but has short hair as an adult. | |

Superpowerful Genetics: Females in the Miyamizu line are implied to be able to experience the body switching phenomenon; Grandma Hitoha mentions that she also had such experiences before, and Hitoha's daughter, Futaba, notes that, shortly after meeting Toshiki for the first time, felt that he is the one she would marry. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
Your Name / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: The owner of the ramen shop Taki and his friends stop at is a former Itomori resident who later helps Taki reach the remains of Itomori. According to the manga, he too escaped the Tiamat strike only because traffic just happened to be bad that night. As Mitsuha waits to board a train to go back to Itomori after a day of fruitless searching for Taki in Tokyo, a train Taki was taking just happens to show up at the station she was at. This gives her the chance to pass him her ribbon, which becomes important chronologically later. In the final scene of Taki & Mitsuha's reunion, both are on their usual way to work. The fact that both are able to spot each other through the train window at the same precise location & time where their two trains run parallel to each other, after years of this never happening before, is almost an act of god. | |

History Repeats: Tessie remarks that Itomori Lake is a meteor crater that formed 1200 years previously in response to Sayaka after she says that an impact event is purely hypothetical. This holds true when a fragment of Tiamat breaks off and forms a second crater close to the original. | |

Phone Call from the Dead: The reason why Mitsuha and Taki are unable to call one another is because Mitsuha has already been dead for three years by the time Taki starts swapping bodies and leaving phone app diary entries with her. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers: As expected from Makoto Shinkai's work. Not only are Taki and Mitsuha separated by distance, but time and death as well. Although unlike the couples from Shinkai's previous films, it's implied in the story's conclusion that it's more likely than not that Taki and Mitsuha will end up together rather than apart. | |

Later in the film, Taki is left to wonder if his experiences were a figment of his imagination, when he learns that Mitsuha perished in the impact event annihilating Itomori. | |

Product Placement: Boss Coffee machines are seen in Mitsuha's town, and are considered "cafes" in lieu of an actual eatery. Shinkai also directed a series of commercials where Taki and Mitsuha promote Suntory drinks. Taki has a Herman Miller Aeron chair in his room. The Line web service shows up whenever Taki or Mitsuha receive a text. Billboards in Tokyo show many real world brands, including Sony and Panasonic. An ad for Z-Kai, which Shinkai has also directed a commercial for, briefly appears on the train Mitsuha is taking while trying to find Taki in Tokyo. Another one is seen in the train adult Taki is on in post-Time Skip. Tessie at one point is seen eating from a container of "Tocky". Tessie rides a Honda scooter. | |

Gender Vocabulary Slip: When Mitsuha is inhabiting Taki's body for the first time, she accidentally uses the first-person pronoun "watashi" while with Taki's classmate. While not strictly a female-only pronoun, in this context (male high school students who are friends) it would come off as effeminate. She then tries to correct herself by switching to "watakushi", "boku", and finally "ore", much to his friends' confusion. | |
