Kusunoki no Bannin

What It Is

On the film side of the catalog, Kusunoki no Bannin is a theatrical film that is complete and ready to watch from start to finish.

Viewers browsing by theme will find it filed under "drama", "mystery", and "supernatural" and incarceration, tags that reliably describe its subject matter and mood.

Other names for it include “The Camphorwood Custodian” and “The Keeper of the Camphor Tree”, which is how it often shows up in catalogs and fan discussions.

Production Notes

Kusunoki no Bannin adapts a novel, and its animated version comes from A-1 Pictures and Psyde Kick Studio. It first aired in Winter 2026.

As a film rather than a series, it is built to be watched in one sitting, with a self-contained arc instead of weekly stops.

Connected Titles

Within our catalog, Fate/strange Fake comes from the same studio and shares tags such as “drama” and “japanese production” — a genuine connection, not a look-alike guess.

Viewers drawn to its themes will also find Heike Monogatari in our catalog, which shares tags including “based on a novel” and “drama”. Shared tags do not make it a sequel or spin-off — just a neighboring watch.
