The back-story on Tekkon kinkreet is almost as interesting as the film itself. Based on a manga by Taiyo Matsumoto called Black and White and published by Kodansha, the film began life as a short subject made by American filmmaker Michael Arias (a producer on Animatrix), who found himself obsessed with the subject matter, as well as '60s Tokyo in general (the title is a blend of the Japanese words for "iron," "concrete," and "muscles"). The short became a cult sensation in Asia, leading to the creation of toys and eventually to a feature film. The tale concerns two street kids named Black (voiced by Alex Fernandez) and White (Yu Aoi). Black is a teenager with visions of comic book heroism, while White is a boy who may be an idiot savant. These vigilantes-in-training are waging war against mobsters who want to build an amusement park in the ancient heart of their beloved city, Treasure Town.
