“Suzume” follows the journey of Suzume Iwato, voiced by Nanoka Hara in the original Japanese version, and Sо̄ta Munakata, voiced by Hokuto Matsumura in his voice acting debut, as they explore the mysteries of a supernatural world known as “the Door-Closing Master.” Shinkai, who is known for his stunning visual storytelling and emotionally charged themes, wrote the screenplay, directed the film, and is credited with the original story. The film features character designs by Masayoshi Tanaka, animation direction by Kenichi Tsuchiya, and art direction by Takumi Tanji.
