  Encyclopedia: Satoshi Kon
Satoshi Kon (今敏 Kon Satoshi, born 12 October 1963 in Kushiro,Hokkaido,Japan) is a highly-regarded director of anime films Perfect Blue (1997), Millennium Actress (2001) and Tokyo Godfathers(2003).
Unlike Kon's previous two films, Tokyo Godfathers seems disinterested in any issues more unwieldy than the tidy resolution of each of its subplots--in healing the wounds of its characters and their pasts in ways of which the protagonists and antagonists of Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress are largely incapable.
Kon, an unattractive man who appears to be married, confesses he surrounds himself with people and drinks a lot, while Okamoto, an extremely attractive actress (this is her first voice work), confesses that she works all day then sits at home at night, completely alone and staring at the floor.

Along the way, each is forced to come to grips with the events that landed them on the streets.
What prevents "Tokyo Godfathers" from rising to the level of social statement that Kon intends is that he wants to have it both ways--aiming to impress a Christmas message about family and homelessness while simultaneously trading on mismatched buddy film clichés and, in the case of the drag queen, some rather tired stereotypes.
Still, Kon deserves credit for attempting to animate a genre that has historically been best served by live action.
