The short is inspired by the 1992 novel Gongitsune by Nakichi Niimi and starred Masato Tanaka as Gon, and Miyu Irino as Hyojyu. The director and the animator of the short is Takeshi Yashiro who recently produced the shorts Dear November Boy and Norman the Snowman and he has also wrote the script.

The story starts when Gon, an energetic fox, takes an eel that a resident named Hyojyu wanted to nourish to his debilitated mother. At the point when Hyojyu’s mom passes on, Gon begins leaving presents for Hyojyu trying to make amends.

From February 21 to March 15 the New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) will be held in the New York City in which the short will be screened. Last October the short was also screened at the Kotatsu Festival in Cardiff and Aberystwyth in the United Kingdom.

In 1985 an anime short was made based by the original novel by Niimi
