Inu-Oh

Part of the Hanabi Film Festival 2026. Limited festival passes available while supplies last. Doors open at 8:30 PM; film at 9:00 PM. Born to an esteemed family, Inu-oh is afflicted with an ancient curse that has left him on the margins of society. When he meets the blind musician Tomona, a young biwa priest haunted by his past, Inu-oh discovers a captivating ability to dance. The pair quickly become business partners and inseparable friends as crowds flock to their electric, larger-than-life concerts. But when those in power threaten to break up the band, Inu-oh and Tomona must dance and sing to uncover the truth behind their creative gifts. Directed by Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game) and featuring character creation by Taiyo Matsumoto (Tekkonkinkreet), this critically-acclaimed film is a glam-rock ode to the power of music and a forceful statement on artistic freedom from one of animation’s singular talents.
