Satoshi Kon's 2003 Film Tokyo Godfathers to be Adapted into Stage Play in 2021

A stage play adaptation of the late Kon Satoshi’s 2003 anime feature film Tokyo Godfathers is planned to be performed at New National Theatre Tokyo in May 2021.

As Kon’s third theatrical feature, the 92-minute original anime film was released in Japan on November 8, 2003, and was highly praised by critics.

While the anime film was set in the year of its release, 2003, the play will be set in 2021 to bring out various problems that Tokyo and Japan are facing now.
