The creative team behind 100 Meters includes several notable names. Kenji Iwaisawa, known for On‑Gaku: Our Sound and the upcoming Hina is Beautiful, directed the film; his thoughts on the project are explored in an interview published earlier this year. The screenplay was penned by Yasuyuki Muto ( Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway ), while Keisuke Kojima handled character design and animation direction. Background art was overseen by Keikankun Yamaguchi, and the musical score was composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi, whose work includes Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. Production duties were managed by ROCK’N ROLL MOUNTAIN.
The film’s principal voice cast brings the rivalry at the heart of the story to life:
- Tori Matsuzaka as Togashi
- Shota Sometani as Komiya
- Jun Kasama as Nigami
- Koki Uchiyama as Zaitsu
- Kenjiro Tsuda as Kaido
Originating as a sports manga by Uoto (creator of Orb: On the Movements of the Earth), the series ran on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket platform from November 6, 2018 to August 6, 2019, culminating in five tankōbon volumes. In Japan the work is titled Hyakuemu, often shortened to “100M.”
The animated adaptation premiered in Japanese theaters on September 19, 2025 and quickly secured international theatrical releases across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. The film also appeared in the Work‑in‑Progress lineup at Annecy 2024 and earned a spot in the Official Selection for Annecy 2025. A special fan screening took place in Malaysia, detailed in a recent article on the event.
Streaming rights were secured by Netflix, which began offering the film to subscribers in December 2025. The platform’s release helped broaden the audience beyond the theatrical circuit, positioning 100 Meters as a notable entry in the sports‑anime genre.
Collectors eager to own the definitive home‑video version should note that the Blu‑ray’s limited‑run packaging, art cards and mini‑poster are exclusive to the GKIDS edition. Pre‑orders remain open on the official GKIDS store, and the release is slated for December 1, 2026.
