Kimi No Na Wa Explained (Plot Analysis)
I’m going to destroy the brilliant non-linear storytelling by laying out the plot in chronological order. It helps to understand the plot of Kimi No Na Wa easier this way.
Around a thousand years ago, a meteorite strikes creating a huge crater. This lead to the formation of a lake over the years. The fictional town of Itomori is situated near this lake. This town is drawn so beautifully, you’d want to go there for a nice long holiday. Our female lead, Mitsuha, lives in this town with her sister (Yotsuha) and grandmother (Hitoha Miyamizu). She is from a family of shrine maidens. There is a family shrine that her mother’s side has taken care of for generations. When Mitsuha and her sister are very young, their mother passes away. Their father, Toshiki, has ambitions that are in the direction of town administration. He feels no connect towards the shrine and as a result, separates from the family. Years pass and he becomes the mayor of the town. Mitsuha hangs out with her two friends Teshi and Sayaka. There is a light hint of a mutual liking between Teshi and Sayaka that is shown in Kimi No Na Wa and confirmed towards the end of the movie. This is not too relevant.
