Akihiro Hino, the creator of the popular "Layton" series, which has sold a total of 17 million copies worldwide, and the social phenomenon "Yokai Watch", is the executive producer/plotter/scriptwriter of "Ni No Kuni". The director is Yoshiyuki Momose, who was in charge of original drawings for "Omohide Poroporo" and CG production for "Princess Mononoke," and who has been called the genius of Studio Ghibli. With his unparalleled creativity, he has brilliantly constructed the world of Ninokuni, which is full of originality.
The music is by Joe Hisaishi, one of Japan's leading musicians. The world-renowned master of film music will continue to color the overwhelming worldview and grand emotional drama of the game version of "Ni No Kuni". The dream makers representing Japan have gathered to deliver an animated film of the highest quality to the world.

The theme song for the film is "MOIL" by Kagenagi Suda, who is extremely popular among teenagers and is rumored to be a big breakout artist this year.

In this film, Yu and Haru are best friends who attend the same high school. Yu is a smart, kind-hearted, and brilliant student. Haru is the ace of the basketball team. And Hal's girlfriend, Kotona.

The three childhood friends were always together. Until that day, when a sudden incident occurs.
While trying to save Kotona, who was caught up in the incident, Yu and Hal wandered into a strange place. It is the magical world of "Ni no Kuni," a place beyond imagination. In this beautiful and mysterious world, which is right next to reality, they meet Princess Asha, who looks just like Kotona. It seems that in Ni no Kuni, there is an "other self" whose life is connected to that of the real world of "Ichi no Kuni. However, a cruel secret is told to Yu and Haru. If they save a life that is about to end in the second world, the people of the first world will pay the price. In the second world, Princess Asha is cursed to death, and in the original world, Kotona is cursed to death. Now, the fates of the two countries are set in motion.

The voice of the main character "Yu," who is one of the most brilliant students in his high school but lives in a wheelchair, is played by Kento Yamazaki, who has starred in many movies and TV dramas, including the movie "Kingdom" and the drama "Good Doctor" (2018), and whose newest work is highly anticipated.

This will be the first time for both of them to dub an animated film.
