A new teaser visual, trailer, and main cast have been revealed for the previously announced anime film Hyakuemu (also known as 100M), which will premiere in Japanese theaters on September 19, 2025.
The trailer also previewed the film’s main voice cast, which features the voices of Tori Matsuzaka as the runner Togashi and Shota Sometani as Komiya, who is inspired by Togashi to learn more about the 100-meter dash.
Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian) was also revealed as the music composer for the film. Kenji Iwaisawa (On–Gaku: Our Sound) is directing Hyakuemu, with Keisuke Kojima (My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World! character designer et al.) as character designer and animation director, and Keikankun Yamaguchi as art director. ROCK’N ROLL MOUNTAIN is in charge of the animation production.
Yusuke Terada, Yuki Katayama, and Akane Taketsugu are credited as the film’s producers. The film is a co-production between Pony Canyon, TBS, and Asmik Ace.
The original manga series by Uoto (Orb: On the Movements of the Earth creator) was serialized in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket website and app from November 6, 2018 to August 6, 2019. A total of five tankobon volumes were released during its publication.
A preview of Hyakuemu was unveiled as part of the Annecy International Film Festival’s Work in Progress lineup in May 2024, where it was screened the following June. The festival describes the main premise of the film as:
Togashi is born to run. As a kid, he is naturally gifted and wins every 100-meter race without effort. But in sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.
