Ping Pong the Animation
Makoto "Smile" Tsukimoto and his friend Yutaka "Peco" Hoshino have played table tennis together since childhood, but as they enter high school, they begin to see the game differently. Peco, full of confidence and energy, aspires to become the best in the world, while Smile, more reserved, lacks a strong competitive drive and resists the idea of sacrificing others' happiness for victory, despite his natural talent. As they grow and face the challenges and fluctuations of both the sport and life, they seek to understand their true selves and what motivates them to play.

Did you or a loved one work on Ping Pong the Animation?
Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
