Tokyo Godfathers (東京ゴッドファーザーズ) is a 2003 animated film by Japanese director Satoshi Kon. Tokyo Godfathers is Kon's third animated movie and was written and directed by Kon. One Christmas eve, three homeless people (a gruff, middle-aged hobo, a drag queen, and a run-away girl) discover an abandoned newborn while foraging through some trash. Desposited with the baby is a note asking the finder to take good care of the unnamed baby and a bag containing clues to the parent's identity.

The unlikely group is a pseudo-family with a history: Gin (ギン) is an alcoholic and a gambler who has estranged himself from his wife and daughter; Hana (ハナ) is a drag queen whose lover died and who aspires to be a mother; Miyuki (ミユキ) is a sullen teen who stabbed her policeman father over a misunderstanding. Hana believes that Kiyoko (清子), the baby, is a gift from the heavens and convinces the others to keep her for the night. Together, in their quest to find the infant's parents, the friends become closer and begin to act like a real family, even to the point that Miyuki has a fantasy in which the four of them have moved into a house, adopted little Kiyoko, and act like the family she always wished she had.

Tokyo Godfathers is 92 minutes long and has an aspect ratio of 1.85:1
