Satoshi Kon was a Japanese director noted for serious, thoughtful, arthouse films which examine their characters' psychology. He was especially preoccupied with the concept of subjective reality, and incorporated it into almost all of his works; that aside, his works cover a wide range of genres and themes: psychological thriller (''Anime/PerfectBlue''), MagicalRealism (''Anime/MillenniumActress''), wacky caper comedy (''Anime/TokyoGodfathers'') and ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'' (which defies categorisation). He was closely tied to Creator/{{Madhouse}} studios and composer Music/SusumuHirasawa.
