About Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek
Among the ruins of the city, there is a game only children can play. It is called “Otokoyo”; a game of hide-and-seek. But whenever children play this game, one by one they would disappear into the blinds of the buildings… The story begins when a boy enters the world of Otokoyo, to find his missing sister.
Directed by Shuhei Morita, Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek leans on a strong ensemble — Junko Takeuchi, Ryou Naitou, Masami Suzuki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2004.
