The writer and director, Makoto Shinkai, also provides the voice of the cat. At the time he started creating the story in 1998, he decided to use black and white since he knew that colored would take three times the space and the process would be longer. Most of the work was done by Shinkai, but the used the help of three collaborators, Mika Shinohara, the voice of She and helped with some illustrations and two other people who were credited for their cooperation.
