It stars Joe Odagiri as Ginko, a traveler who dedicates himself to protecting the populace from supernatural creatures called Mushi. Otomo began work on the film in 2005 after declining a jidaigeki project. He was interested in creating a mix of live action and animation and felt the manga gave him an appropriate creative vehicle. ## Credits - **Director:** [Katsuhiro Otomo](https://cinepixo.com/people/katsuhiro-otomo), [Tomoki Sano](https://cinepixo.com/people/tomoki-sano) - **Screenplay:** [Katsuhiro Otomo](https://cinepixo.com/people/katsuhiro-otomo), [Sadayuki Murai](https://cinepixo.com/people/sadayuki-murai) - **Original Music Composer:** [Kuniaki Haishima](https://cinepixo.com/people/kuniaki-haishima) - **Producer:** [Satoru Ogura](https://cinepixo.com/people/satoru-ogura) - **Director of Photography:** [Takahide Shibanushi](https://cinepixo.com/people/takahide-shibanushi) - **Editor:** [Sōichi Ueno](https://cinepixo.com/people/soichi-ueno) ## Cast - [Lily](https://cinepixo.com/people/lily) - [Aaron Dismuke](https://cinepixo.com/people/aaron-dismuke) - [Nao Ōmori](https://cinepixo.com/people/nao-omori) - [Yu Aoi](https://cinepixo.com/people/yu-aoi) - [Makiko Esumi](https://cinepixo.com/people/makiko-esumi) - [Makiko Kuno](https://cinepixo.com/people/makiko-kuno) - [Joe Odagiri](https://cinepixo.com/people/joe-odagiri) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
