Production

In 1931, Shochiku released The Neighbor's Wife and Mine (マダムと女房, Madamu to Nyōbō) which would become the first Japanese talkie film. Following the film's success, Shochiku's president, Shirō Kido, commissioned Masaoka to create the first anime to feature voice acting, and he immediately began work on it.

Masaoka worked on the film for over a year and finally finished it in October 1932. It was released in theaters the following year on April 13, 1933. ^[4] At that time, voice acting jobs didn't exist yet, so Shochiku used regular voice actors. His casting of famous stars, such as Roppa Furukawa and Ranko Sawa (of the Takarazuka Revue), helped make the film a success.
