Yoroï is a 2025 French action comedy-drama film directed by David Tomaszewski and co-written by Aurélien Cotentin, released on 29 October 2025 in France by Sony Pictures France.

Production

Yoroï was directed by David Tomaszewski, a frequent collaborator of Orelsan and the director of the music video for Orelsan's 2021 song "L'odeur de l'essence". Orelsan describes the genre of the film as a "fantasy family adventure comedy".

The screenplay was co-written by Orelsan and Tomaszewski. The story blends "fiction and reality, exploring Orelsan's fears related to fatherhood", and features creatures from Japanese folktales. Orelsan said the screenplay writing process "was a pretty long but fun process—like a form of therapy."

The title of the film, Yoroï, originates from "Ō-yoroi", meaning "armor" in Japanese. The film was produced by David Gauquié and Julien Deris, for the production companies Cinéfrance Studios and Attita.

In early November 2024, actress Clara Choï was revealed to play Nanako, the wife of Aurélien, a role of which Orelsan plays himself. In mid-June 2025, musicians Skread, Ablaye, and Gringe were revealed as part of the film's cast.

Filming began in late March 2024, in Osaka, Japan, near Mount Fuji southwest of Tokyo, and then in France between May and July of that year, at Bry-sur-Marne Studios, as well as in Île-de-France, also known as the Paris region. Filming wrapped up in September 2024.
