Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" Returns to U.S. Theaters in 4K for Its Tenth Anniversary

GKIDS announced the remastered theatrical run alongside a first-ever North American 4K UHD Steelbook, as Shinkai teases details of his next feature film

Zoya Mahroosh Zulfiqar
Your Name. (Kimi no Na wa) is a masterpiece of modern animation that blends romance, fantasy, and destiny.

Directed by Makoto Shinkai and released in 2016, the film follows Mitsuha, a high school girl in a rural mountain village, and Taki, a high school boy living in Tokyo. The two teenagers are inexplicably bound together when they begin periodically swapping bodies, forcing them to navigate each other's lives and leave behind digital diaries to manage the chaos. Just as a deep emotional connection forms between them, the phenomenon abruptly stops, prompting Taki to search for Mitsuha in the Japanese countryside. This search reveals a stunning twist: their experiences are separated by a three-year time gap, and Mitsuha's hometown was tragically destroyed by a comet fragment years earlier. Utilizing ancient Shinto traditions and a magical meeting at twilight, Taki races against time to alter past events, evacuate the town, and preserve their fading memories of one another. Visually breathtaking, the movie is celebrated for its hyper-realistic depictions of Tokyo, vibrant skies, and an iconic, emotionally resonant soundtrack composed by the rock band RADWIMPS. It became a massive global box office phenomenon, cementing Shinkai's reputation as a legendary storyteller and serving as the first entry in his unofficial "disaster trilogy," which also includes Weathering with You and Suzume.
