When he grows to an adult dog, he is taken to a guide dog school, by a friendly, yet firm trainer Satoru Tawada. Although Quill is a little slower than the other dogs at the school, he seems to have an unusual \u0027empathy\u0027 and remarkable patience with his trainers. Tawade decides that Quill would be the ideal guide dog for Mitsuru Watanabe, but Wanatabe, a lonely and ill-tempered middle aged man, isn\u0027t as enthusiastic - he would \u0022would rather sleep than be dragged around by a dog.\u0022. From here, the story is narrated by Wanatabe\u0027s daughter, Mitsuko, and slowly, Wantanbe is rehabilitated, venturing into the outside world, and learning, not only to trust other humans, but the animal at his side who guides him.","wins":2,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Kaoru Kobayashi","code":"nm0462006","characters":"Watanabe Mitsuru"},{"name":"Kippei Sh\u00eena","code":"nm0793404","characters":"Tawada Satoru"},{"name":"Teruyuki Kagawa","code":"nm0434596","characters":"Isamu Nii"},{"name":"Keiko Toda","code":"nm0865078","characters":"Yoshiko Watanabe"},{"name":"Tomoka Kurotani","code":"nm0475917","characters":"Masumi Kubo"},{"name":"Yukika Sakuratani","code":"nm1347352","characters":"Mitsuko Watanabe"},{"name":"Yawara Matsuda","code":"nm5326534","characters":"Etsuo Watanabe"},{"name":"Tar\u00f4 Ishida","code":"nm0410937","characters":"Hiroshi Totsuka"},{"name":"Kenji Mizuhashi","code":"nm0594647","characters":"Yuichi Sakai"},{"name":"Chie Sakagami","code":"nm5326553","characters":"Yoko Kamata"},{"name":"Mantar\u00f4 Koichi","code":"nm0463500","characters":"Kawamoto"},{"name":"Kuidaore Uchuutei","code":"nm5326527","characters":"Yoshinaga"},{"name":"Kiyomi Tanikawa","code":"nm5326600","characters":"Kyoko Yaguchi"},{"name":"Kouzou Satou","code":"nm5326515","characters":"Ishibashi"},{"name":"Mariko Miyamoto","code":"nm5326521","characters":"Housewife"},{"name":"Kohei Yoshida","code":"nm1563969","characters":"Teruo Takahashi"},{"name":"Kento Terai","code":"nm5326482","characters":"Kenji Mito"},{"name":"Mitsuru Ochiai","code":"nm5326547","characters":"Toru Tsukamoto"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":{"amount":15674,"currency":"USD"},"openingWeekendGross":{"amount":1678,"currency":"USD"},"worldwideGross":{"amount":23697809,"currency":"USD"},"keywords":[{"text":"nobility"},{"text":"dignity"},{"text":"kindness"},{"text":"guide dog"},{"text":"dog"}],"production":[{"id":"co0054983","text":"Eisei Gekijo"},{"id":"co0134730","text":"Nippon Shuppan Hanbai (Nippan) K.K."},{"id":"co1052333","text":"Quill Production Committee"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0439630","title":"Initial D"},{"code":"tt0374339","title":"Infernal Affairs III"},{"code":"tt4195368","title":"Flying Colors"},{"code":"tt0096908","title":"A City of Sadness"},{"code":"tt2084098","title":"Starry Starry Night"},{"code":"tt1460743","title":"Reign of Assassins"},{"code":"tt0365847","title":"The Myth"},{"code":"tt0369060","title":"Infernal Affairs II"},{"code":"tt0111786","title":"In the Heat of the Sun"},{"code":"tt0349710","title":"Ladder 49"},{"code":"tt0425637","title":"Red Cliff"},{"code":"tt0107156","title":"The Wedding Banquet"}]}
