Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

She is voiced by Satomi Hanamura, who previously portrayed Kanae Sumida in 5 Centimeters per Second.

Age[]

The movie never officially reveals the time of its the events. However, by analyzing its timeline, we can conclude that Aya was searching for a new house in 2023, before she moves out later. If we assume that she finished a regular 4-year course at the university, she should be around 21-22 in 2023. So her birth year must be 2001 or 2002.

Etymology[]

  • The name Aya means "design" (綾).
  • Aya's surname Okamura means "ridge, hill" (岡) (oka) and "town, village" (村) (mura).
