Free Your Name Coloring Pages: 40 printable PDF designs inspired by Makoto Shinkai’s 2016 anime film, focused mainly on lead character Mitsuha Miyamizu, with additional pages featuring Taki Tachibana and a few supporting characters. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser, with no account required.
Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) was written and directed by Makoto Shinkai and released in Japan on August 26, 2016, produced by CoMix Wave Films. The story follows Mitsuha, a high school student in rural Gifu Prefecture, and Taki, a student in Tokyo, whose lives become linked after they begin swapping bodies, testing whether two people who have never met can find each other. The film became one of the highest-grossing anime films worldwide following its release.
The 40 pages in this set lean heavily toward Mitsuha, who appears in most of the designs either alone or alongside Taki, with a smaller number of pages centered on Taki by himself or on side characters from the story.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 40 pages are loosely grouped by which characters appear together rather than by scene, and the set is not evenly split between the two leads.
Mitsuha Solo Portraits
The largest group in the set keeps the focus on Mitsuha alone, across a range of expressions and styles from simple portraits to more emotional or stylized versions. These suit her dark hair in a warm Black-Brown, paired with her school uniform’s Navy Blue and White.
Mitsuha and Taki Together
An equally large group pairs the two leads in the same scene, reflecting their central role in the story. These pages work well with a consistent palette across both characters, since keeping their coloring recognizable in every joint scene helps the pairing read clearly.
Taki Solo Portraits
A much smaller group of pages focuses on Taki by himself. His look calls for a cooler palette than Mitsuha’s, with dark hair and his own Tokyo school uniform.
Supporting Characters and Cover-Style Pages
The remaining pages bring in side characters from the story, along with a few general cover-style designs. These add variety to the set beyond the two leads and suit whatever palette matches each character’s own established look.
What Your Name Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. The detailed hair and uniform lines throughout this set give that practice a fine, specific shape to follow.
A way to revisit a favorite story through art. Anime coloring pages give fans of a film a way to spend more time with characters they already know, without needing to rewatch the film itself, and Your Name’s detailed character designs offer plenty to work with page by page.
Calm, repetitive focus through detailed shading. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. The layered hair and uniform folds on the more detailed pages in this set support the same slow, careful shading associated with that calming effect.
Practice with consistent character coloring across scenes. Because so many pages return to the same two characters, the set gives colorists a chance to practice keeping hair, eye, and uniform colors consistent from one page to the next, a skill that carries over to any character-based coloring project.
How to Color These Pages Well
- Mitsuha’s hair: Use a deep Black-Brown rather than flat Black, and add a lighter Sepia highlight where the light catches it.
- Mitsuha’s uniform: Color the sailor-style top in White with a Scarlet or Red neckerchief, and keep the pleated skirt a solid Navy Blue.
- Taki’s hair and uniform: Use a slightly cooler Black-Brown for his hair, and a Midnight Blue or Gray for his Tokyo school uniform to separate his look from Mitsuha’s visually.
- Eyes: Both characters have detailed, expressive eyes; use a rich Burnt Sienna or Sepia rather than plain brown, with a small white highlight dot to keep the gaze lively.
- Background details: On pages with a comet or night sky, blend Midnight Blue into Violet (Purple) for the sky, with a bright Yellow Orange streak for the comet itself.
- Supporting characters: Give each side character their own distinct hair and uniform color rather than reusing Mitsuha’s or Taki’s palette, so they read as separate people on the page.
