Kimi No Na Wa. (your Name.)

A lot of readers are keen to know what the phrase Kimi No Na Wa translates to. Now, I don’t know Japanese but I could find out a few things from a couple of friends. Native Japanese speakers, please correct me if I’m wrong. “Kimi No” translates to “Your” and it is informal. “Na Wa” translates to “Name What”. So “Kimi No Na Wa” is basically a question which means “What Is Your Name?” or a short representation of the question being “Your Name?”. While in English it’s not grammatically correct to ask “Your Name?”, this form in many Asian languages is perfectly fine.

I’m going to destroy the brilliant non-linear storytelling by laying out the plot in chronological order. It helps to understand the plot of Kimi No Na Wa easier this way. Here’s the plot of Your Name explained.

Around a thousand years ago, a meteorite strikes creating a huge crater. This lead to the formation of a lake over the years. The fictional town of Itomori is situated near this lake. This town is drawn so beautifully, you’d want to go there for a nice long holiday. Our female lead, Mitsuha, lives in this town with her sister (Yotsuha) and grandmother (Hitoha Miyamizu). She is from a family of shrine maidens. There is a family shrine that her mother’s side has taken care of for generations. When Mitsuha and her sister are very young, their mother passes away. Their father, Toshiki, has ambitions that are in the direction of town administration. He feels no connect towards the shrine and as a result, separates from the family. Years pass and he becomes the mayor of the town. Mitsuha hangs out with her two friends Teshi and Sayaka. There is a light hint of a mutual liking between Teshi and Sayaka that is shown in Kimi No Na Wa and confirmed towards the end of the movie. This is not too relevant.

Mitsuha is burdened by her boring life and the boring town of Itomori. She and her sister are Shrine maidens and perform the ritual of the sacred Kagura dance. As a part of this, they make kuchikamizake. This is where they chew on rice and spit it out into a container and let that ferment to become alcohol. This sake, once formed, is then offered at the shrine to the god. Mitsuha is embarrassed when other school mates see her doing the ritual. At one point she even wishes to be born a Tokyo boy in her next life.

What we need to understand here is that the Miyamizu family (the women) have a history of magically switching bodies with other people. However, they remember them as dreams and nothing more came out of it.

The grandmother teaches Mitsuha and Yotsuha the art of knitting yarn into a special kind of thread. She explains how this is connected to the Red String of Fate. A belief where an imaginary thread connects and binds two people. No matter how life unfolds, the string brings the two together. She also explains how the thread also represents the very flow of time. While this part is very metaphorical, the long-story-short is that the red thread that Mitsuha is shown wearing throughout Kimi No Na Wa, has the power to bind her to another – the other being Taki.

Around this time of Mitsuha’s life, she magically starts to switch bodies with a boy named Taki Tachibana who lives in Tokyo. While initially she thinks that they are mere dreams, she soon realizes that the switches are for real. When she is in his body in Tokyo, he is in her body in Itomori. A very important, and the central crux of Kimi No Na Wa, is that Mitsuha is switching with Taki from 3 years in the future. So when she switches, she is in Tokyo and 3 years in the future. But this is something that she doesn’t realize. She assumes that she’s switching with Taki in the same timeline. I’ll get to the details of Taki’s timeline and the switching a little later. Over the many switches, Mitsuha falls in love with Taki. She decides to go to Tokyo to meet him. She reaches Tokyo and looks for him. His phone seems to be not-reachable. She stumbles on to him in a train. This Taki she meets is still 3 years before he experiences any body-switching with Mitsuha. As a result, he has no clue who Mitsuha is. Upset, Mitsuha leaves the train. Taki asks for her name and she tells him her name and hands him her red thread. The red thread now binds the two of them.

During the events of Mitsuha’s switching, there is a comet that is passing by. Is the comet causing this rift in timelines to happen? While in movies like

It is shown to affect timelimes, in Kimi No Na Wa, the switching is shown to be something native to the Miyamizu family and the thread controls flow of time. A town’s festival is on the same day as the Comet’s closest proximity to Earth. Mitsuha cuts her hair as she feels her relationship with Taki has come to an end. She’s dressed in a kimono and meets with Teshi and Sayaka. They are surprised to see her with short hair. They head to a vantage point to see the comet clearly. Unfortunately, the comet splits and one fragment drops into Earth. It happens strike and kill hundreds of people in the town. Mitsuha, Teshi and Sayaka die too. The school is left unharmed and so is the shrine. This is how it ends for Mitsuha in Timeline 1. She dies.

He is a boy studying and living in Tokyo. He runs into a girl, Mitsuha, on a train one day and she hands him a red thread. The thread binds him to her. He wears it as a good luck charm. The following day he observes the comet. The destruction of the town is a news channel report to him. At this point, he has no knowledge of the town or the inhabitants. 3 years after meeting the girl on the train he magically begins to switch bodies with Mitsuha. Now, Taki doesn’t know he’s switching bodies with the same girl from the train. Taki also doesn’t know that he’s switching bodies with Mitsuha from 3 years in the past. He understands that he’s in a small town when he’s switching bodies but never bothers to find the name of the town he is in. All he knows is that the switching is for real. One fine day the switching abruptly stops. This is because back in the past, the comet has killed Mitsuha, Taki doesn’t know this. But he still has the thread and this continues to bind Taki to Mitsuha. He decides to go looking for Mitsuha.

On the last day of the switch, they wake up crying. Neither of them understands why they are crying. This is because their link has been severed as the comet is going to end Mitsuha’s life. This is their last natural switch.

When they cross the river to visit the place of the god Musubi, Mitsua’s grandmother says, “Beyond this point is ‘kakuriyo’. It means the underworld. In exchange for returning to this world, you must leave behind what is most important to you. The kuchikamisake.” Taki (in Mitsuha’s body) asks, “The kuchikamisake?”. Grandmother replies, “You’ll offer it inside the god’s body. It is half of you.” When Taki crosses the river again three years later, he remembers that the other side of the river is the ‘underworld’. What will he leave behind that is most important to him? His memory of Mitsua. Likewise for Mitsua, when she wakes across the river in Taki’s body three years in her future. When she leaves the ‘underworld’, she also has to leave behind what is
