Japan is rising on the global film stage! 🎬🇯🇵

Nearly 700 Japanese films were released in 2025, making Japan one of the world’s most dynamic and creative film industries — blending long‑standing cinematic traditions with bold new voices.

Two films symbolized the year:
🔹 DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA - INFINITY CASTLE grossed nearly ¥40 billion yen ($258 million USD) domestically and over ¥106.3 billion yen ($687 million USD) worldwide as of last November, becoming the first Japanese film to surpass 100 billion yen ($645 million USD) globally.

🔹 Meanwhile, KOKUHŌ, a highly artistic film centered on traditional Kabuki, had its world premiere in the Quinzaine des Cinéastes during the 78th Festival de Cannes and went on to become the highest-grossing live-action Japanese film in domestic history.

Together, these successes highlighted the global appeal and growing international strength of Japanese cinema, and we look forward to welcoming this year as our 2026 Country of Honour!
