The film, based on Takeshi Nakamoto’s book Fukushima Yomei 1-ka Getsu no Hisai Inu Tongari Atama no Gonta, will open in 2022.
WAO Corporation announced on Monday that it is producing a new theatrical anime film titled Tongari Atama no Gonta: Futatsu no Namae o Ikita Fukushima Hisai Inu no Monogatari (Pointy-Headed Gonta: The Story of the Two-Named Dog in the Fukushima Disaster).
The Fukushima Minpō, Namie Town Hall, and Kobunsha are credited for production cooperation.
Nakamoto’s original book centers on the titular dog Gonta and the dog’s owners.
