The highly anticipated film The Keeper of the Camphor Tree ( Kusunoki no Bannin ) premieres on January 30, 2026, and has therefore received a new official visual accompanied by a trailer.
The production adapts the work of Keigo Higashino , marking his first experience in an animated feature film. The story follows Reito Naoi , a young man suddenly fired from his job who, in addition, ends up becoming the mysterious "guardian of the great camphor bush."
The cast of The Keeper of the Camphor Tree has gained three new names. Asuka Saitō plays university student Yumi Saji , who suspects her father's secretive behavior and seeks Reito's help. Ryubi Miyase plays Soki Ohba , heir to a traditional candy brand who visits the shrine out of obligation. Meanwhile, Takao Osawa takes on the role of Toshiaki Saji , a regular visitor to Kusunoki and a key figure in the central enigma of the plot.
Thus, the trailer highlights the emotional atmosphere and mystery surrounding the sacred location. Furthermore, the soundtrack is by Yugo Kanno , famous for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Detective Conan . Finally, fans will be able to purchase the soundtrack on the release day and secure a MoviTicket in bookmark format.
