[edit] Plot
Shunned as a child due to his non-Japanese given name, Tony Takitani (Issei Ogata) develops into a gifted technical illustrator. Later in life, he falls in love with a young woman named Eiko Konuma (Rie Miyazawa) and the two get married. When Eiko passes away, Tony discovers she has a double and he hires her as an assistant on the odd condition that she dresses up in Eiko's clothing every day.
