- Shigeru Ushiyama as Entarō, Shūsaku's father
- Mayumi Shintani as San, Shūsaku's mother
Nanase Iwai and Tengai Shibuya are also part of the film's cast in as-yet unspecified roles.
Director and writer Sunao Katabuchi (Mai Mai Miracle, Black Lagoon) had announced the feature film in 2012.
The film will open in Japan on November 12. The film screened at Annecy in a Work in Progress session in June. Animatsu Entertainment acquired the global rights to the film.
