Hi no Tori: Hagoromo Hen  

火の鳥 ~羽衣編~, Hi no Tori: Hagoromo-hen

Greetings! The film "Hagoromo Hen" by Tori was exhibited at the Tezuka Osamu Theatre in Kyoto, Japan from July 17th, 2004 to the closure of the theatre in January 2011.

Hi no Tori: Hagoromo Hen is a short anime adaptation of the "Hagoromo-hen" chapter from Osamu Tezuka's Hi no Tori manga. Translated in English by Viz under the title "Robe of Feathers," this chapter is mostly inspired by Japan's famous eighth century Hagoromo legend. However, the adaptation's plot is slightly different from the manga's, especially with respect to the character Zuku. The movie was shown at the Tezuka Osamu World Cinema in Kyoto from July 17, 2004 until the theater was closed on January 16, 2011. The production team was almost identical to the Hi no Tori TV anime series' production team, but the voice actress of the Phoenix was changed.
