Katsuhiro Ōtomo (大友 克洋)
Akira (アキラ)

The film Akira is a true technical and artistic feat. The complexity and scale of its production remains impressive to this day, contributing to the mythical aura around the original sets and illustrations of this masterpiece. With its 2,212 shots and 160,000 individual frames, the film far exceeds the standards of the time. The use of 327 colors, including 50 created especially for the work, testifies to a monumental effort to make the world of Neo-Tokyo as vivid and immersive as possible. This elaborate palette was essential to capture the film's unique aesthetic and atmosphere. The original hand-painted sets, in particular, are highly prized as they represent tangible pieces of this iconic cyberpunk universe. Their rarity is explained by the demand from collectors and fans, who recognize the artistic and historical value of each piece. This heritage makes Akira a must-have reference, and its visual elements, like the original sets, are sought-after treasures that embody the quintessential Japanese animation of the late '80s. This sumptuous and very rare original gouache set, which includes a sheet of celluloid (lights and LEDs on computers and machines), appears at 40 min 51 sec in a scene in which Colonel Shikishima and his team are preparing to unlock the secret base where mutant No. 28, none other than Akira, is locked up.
